Around 140 flights at Brussels Airport are expected to be cancelled on Friday due to strike action by ground handling staff. The affected departures and arrivals include services connected to the UK, with routes linked to London and Manchester reported as among those impacted.
Across the outlets, the focus is on passenger disruption. One report says the cancellations relate to flights handled by ground handler Alyzia, with about half of its flights expected to be affected. Another describes the overall scale of the disruption as “airport chaos,” again citing roughly 140 cancellations involving flights to and from Brussels, including UK destinations. All accounts point to the strike as the cause of the planned cancellations, with thousands of travellers potentially facing changes to their travel plans.
