Brussels Airport says it expects around 140 flight cancellations as a result of a national strike taking place in Belgium.
The strike action is also disrupting public transportation services in the capital, according to reports, compounding travel difficulties for passengers trying to reach the airport.
Airlines and travelers have been advised to check flight status directly with carriers ahead of planned travel, as the scale of cancellations linked to the industrial action unfolds.
National strikes affecting transport and other public services periodically occur in Belgium, often tied to broader labor disputes, and can lead to significant disruption at major transit hubs including the country's main international airport.
Further updates on the extent of the disruption are expected as the strike continues.
