The nationwide strike by workers in Belgium has also negatively impacted air travel. Charleroi Airport has announced that all flights scheduled for departure on Thursday, February 13, have been canceled due to the strike.
Airport authorities stated that there would not be enough staff to ensure safe operations and confirmed that only flights arriving from the Schengen area would be accepted. It was also mentioned that airlines would provide the necessary information to prevent passenger inconvenience.
Meanwhile, a similar decision was made by Brussels Airport. The announcement of austerity measures and cuts in social spending by the newly formed government has drawn strong reactions from labor unions. As a result, a major protest will take place on February 13, with similar demonstrations planned for the 13th of each month.
These developments highlight growing social unrest in Belgium, and it is expected that the impact of the strike may further escalate in the coming days.
