National strike to force cancellation of about 140 flights at Brussels Airport

Alyzia, which provides ground-handling services for around 20 airlines at Brussels Airport, will operate with reduced staffing as some employees take part in union-led protests against measures introduced by Belgium's federal government, local media said.

The cancellations are expected to affect flights handled by Alyzia, including services operated by Brussels Airlines, the airport's main carrier.

The FGTB (ABVV) trade union is organizing a national demonstration Friday as part of protests against the federal government's policies.

The industrial action is also expected to disrupt public transportation in Brussels, with disruptions anticipated across the STIB network
