Brussels Airport tells passengers “no departures” on 12 March as nationwide strike looms
Brussels Airport has pre-emptively cancelled all outbound passenger flights on 12 March 2026 because a nationwide strike will deprive the hub of security and ground-handling staff. The move will disrupt tens of thousands of travellers and force airlines and corporate travel departments to reroute or reschedule trips, while EU261 duty-of-care obligations remain in force even though compensation is unlikely.
