Flight irregularities at Brussels Airport due to a national manifestation on 14 October 2025

Due to the national demonstration in Belgium on Tuesday, 14 October 2025, and the announced strike by several operational services at Brussels Airport (BRU), the Lufthansa Group airlines are forced to cancel all departing flights and a significant number of arriving flights that day.

Guests who are affected by an irregularity will be informed accordingly (provided the contact details were stored in the booking).

We ask passengers to check the status of their flight before setting out on their journey.

Important notes regarding short-term flight cancellations
