The cancellations are only for European flights. All the Ryanair flights at Brussels are also cancelled.

All long-haul flights of Brussels Airlines are still scheduled at the time of writing.

Brussels South Charleroi Airport seems to be operating normally on Monday. No cancellation is currently announced.

A subcontractor guaranteed that its staff would show up for work. Six out of ten staffers, however, opted to not show up for work. Nice subcontractor ;-)

All flights for the afternoon cancelled ...

And a new national strike on 31.03. Highly that the airports has to close again. The Belgian reputation is already very bad regarding strikes. This will cause that new airlines or existing one will think twice to still fly or not

Well, without ATC, it's not only "highly likely" that airports will not operate tomorrow...

I highly doubt new airlines will think twice or not because of a strike though :roll:

If there are a few strikes in a row, I think it will have an influence

BTW, I'm not talking about this one of tomorrow, I'm talking about the new national strike for next month, 31.03
