Ahead of the national strike on Wednesday 9 November, the Brussels South Charleroi Airport (BSCA) has announced that it will cancel all commercial flights scheduled for the day.
The "national day of action" was organised by various trade unions in Belgium – the fourth this year – to draw attention to the fact that life is becoming much too expensive for many employees, and call for more purchasing power as well as guaranteed protection of wage indexation.
"Due to the national strike of 9 November 9 2022, the 120 commercial flights departing from and arriving at Brussels-Charleroi airport are cancelled," the airport said in a press release on its website.

The national cross-industry strike taking place on Wednesday will see many disruptions in public transport, and in particular for airports. On Monday, Brussels Airport also announced that over half of its departing flights will be cancelled.
