Brussels Airport Back to Full Capacity After Ground-Handler Wildcat Strike (opens in new tab)

Operations at Brussels Airport returned to normal on 16 June 2026 after Aviapartner ended a spontaneous strike that had delayed around 60 flights the previous day. Although the immediate disruption is over, unions cautioned that further walkouts are possible unless staffing and wage concerns are addressed. Business travellers and mobility teams should factor potential labour unrest into summer travel schedules.
