Indeed, and today's SN flight to Monrovia was cancelled at the last minute, when all passengers had already checked in, after no pilot was available.

Do you think that the same reason that the SN flight to Kigali and Entebbe was canceled today ?

Yes, that flight was also cancelled by the lack of available pilots. But here, passengers were warned on time.

You're right: it's Wednesday's flight to Monrovia that was cancelled (and Thursday's flight to Entebbe). But Brussels Airlines recognised that in both cases it was due to a lack of crew. The captain designated for Wednesday's flight called in sick two hours before the flight and the airline was unable to find a replacement. The flight to Monrovia was then postponed by 24 hours. Some transit passengers not allowed in Belgium had to sleep in the airport on army beds.

If no agreement between management and unions, new actions are planned in January 2022.
