The strike by Belgium-based Ryanair cabin crew will lead to the cancellation of 107 flights departing from Brussels South Charleroi Airport (BSCA), most of them for the New Year weekend. In total, around 19.000 passengers will be affected.
Only flights departing from Charleroi (BSCA) and operated by cabin crew based in Belgium will be affected. These include flights to Tenerife, Dublin, Malaga, Lisbon and Marrakech. Flights from Brussels airport are all operated by aircraft based outside Belgium and are not affected by the strike.
Ryanair is trying to find solutions and is contacting affected passengers individually. Unions believe there are solutions for affected passengers. Ryanair cabin crew based in Belgium will go on strike on December 30 and 31 and January 1, 7 and 8 to protest the carrier's attitude, which continues to refuse to guarantee the legal minimum wage in Belgium.
