Brussels Airlines to cancel most October 1 flights due to strike
Brussels Airlines said on Friday that it would cancel most of its flights on October 1 due to a Belgian national strike of security workers.
Brussels Airport, the largest airport in the country, had asked airlines to review their schedules because the strike would lead to a reduction in security screenings.
The airport said a large number of security staff would be expected to participate in the strike and predicted a major impact on airport operations that day.

Brussels Airlines’ base is located at Brussels Airport and is one of the hub airlines of Lufthansa Group.
A spokesperson for Brussels Airlines said it would need to cancel 80% of its 203 flights scheduled for the day. Passengers would be offered an alternative flight schedule with a flight on an earlier departure date, later departure date or on the same day through another Lufthansa Group hub.
October’s strike will come less than a month after flight traffic from Belgium’s Charleroi airport, a major hub for the budget airline Ryanair, was snarled by multiple days of strikes by that airport’s employees.
