Belgium: Unionized airport workers to strike at Charleroi Airport on Sept. 12
Airport workers to strike for 24 hours at Charleroi Airport in Belgium, Sept. 12. Confirm flight schedules.
Unionized airport employees plan to stage a 24-hour strike at Brussels South Charleroi Airport (CRL) on Sept. 12. The purpose of the work stoppage is to press for improved working conditions. The action will primarily affect key airport services, including luggage handling, check-in, and aircraft refueling. CRL officials expect the strike to have a major impact on airport operations and have advised passengers that flight cancellations are likely.
Flight disruptions related to the walk out could extend extend well into early Sept. 13 as carriers reposition aircraft and work through their passenger backlogs. Longer-than-usual check-in and security clearance queues are likely.
Reconfirm all flight reservations if traveling via CRL through at least early Sept. 13 and do not check out of accommodations until onward travel is confirmed. Consider arriving to the airport early to offset any check-in and security clearance delays.
