Emirates Airlines cancelled a number of flights to and from Brussels on March 31 as a result of industrial action in the Belgian capital. The strike, which has hit a number of sectors including air travel, caused major disruptions at Brussels Airport. Emirates customers who are traveling to or from Brussels are requested to visit the airline’s website for information and alternative arrangements.
The work stoppage, as part of a wider labor protest wave, has resulted in cancellations and delays for many airlines serving the region. Some passengers booked on Emirates flights were affected, with the airline already stating its apologies for the trouble caused. Emirates employees are scrambling to help travelers affected and provide rebooking choices, including substitute routes where necessary.
The strike has been called by workers who have been demanding better working conditions and increased wages for staff. Brussels, being an important European center, has experienced serious disruptions across many transport networks, including the aviation sector. Passengers going to the city have been cautioned to keep up with the current events before making their way to the airport.
Emirates has assured customers that they are making all efforts to reduce the effects of the disruption and facilitate smooth rebooking. Disrupted customers have been requested to contact Emirates customer service for assistance with bookings.
