Belgian Air Traffic Controllers Suspend Strike Action at Brussels South Charleroi Airport
The dispute, centered mainly on extra pay for night shift work, has led controllers to pause planned industrial action.
Air traffic controllers at Brussels South Charleroi Airport in Belgium have suspended strike action, according to a report from Anadolu Agency.
The dispute underlying the planned action centers mainly on the allocation of extra pay for night shift work, a point of contention between controllers and airport or aviation authorities.
Talks expected to continue
The suspension of the strike suggests that negotiations between the two sides may be ongoing or that a temporary resolution has been reached to avert immediate disruption to flight operations at the airport, a hub used by a number of low-cost carriers.
Air traffic controller disputes in Europe have periodically led to significant flight disruptions when strikes proceed, making a suspension notable for airlines and passengers relying on the airport's operations.
The report did not specify how long the suspension will last or whether further negotiations are scheduled to resolve the underlying pay dispute.
