Industrial actions by security staff at Brussels Airport: heavy flight disruptions on 1 October 2024

A national manifestation organized by the unions of security workers in Belgium will take place on Tuesday, 1 October 2024. Consequently, capacity at the security screenings at Brussels Airport will be reduced. The airport has requested all the airlines to review their schedules accordingly. Brussels Airlines has therefore taken the difficult decision to cancel most of its flights on 1 October 2024.

Travelers who are affected by an irregularity will be informed accordingly (provided the contact details are 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

In case of short-term flight cancellations within 48 hours (in select cases: up to 5 days) before departure, no (immediate) UN will be set in the PNR in all cases. In this case, you can do the rebooking/reissue without having to request a waiver.
