The airport has confirmed that the strike will significantly disrupt normal operations, with ground handling and security services unavailable throughout the day.Flight arrivals are also likely to face significant delays or cancellations as a ripple effect of the labor action.

Workers across transportation, education, and healthcare are expected to join the walkout, adding to the national scale of disruption.

Public transport services, including trains and buses, are also expected to operate at limited capacity, further complicating travel within the country.This will be the second nationwide strike linked to the government’s reform agenda, signaling continued unrest and organized resistance from workers across Belgium.
