On Friday, October 6, 2026, Brussels Airport experienced multiple flight cancellations caused by a nationwide Belgian strike affecting operations across the country.
The strike involved staff from Alyzia, the ground handling company at Brussels Airport, who participated in the industrial action. Belgian media reported that at least 140 flights were cancelled as a result of the work stoppage.
The airport confirmed the participation of Alyzia staff in the strike but did not provide an official figure for the number of flights affected. The cancellations led to travel disruption throughout the day at one of Belgium’s main air traffic hubs.
