The history of Brussels Airport starts in 1914 with the construction of an airship hangar. Over a century later, Brussels Airport has developed into a state-of-the-art comfortable airport that connects the capital of Europe to 238 destinations around the world.
Due to the national manifestation on Thursday 12 March in which part of the staff of the security and handling service providers is participating, we unfortunately expect major disruptions to our airport operations on that day.
What does this mean for my flight?
To ensure the safety of passengers and staff, we have decided, in consultation with the airlines, not to operate any departing flights on 12 March. In the upcoming days, the airlines will contact passengers directly to inform them of their options.
Arriving passenger flights
As departing passenger flights are cancelled, cancellations of some arriving flights are possible.
The flight overview on our website will show cancellations only once they are registered by the airline.
Public transport
From Sunday 8 March at 10:00 PM, disruption to public transport is also expected. Please consult the website of NMBS/SNCB and De Lijn for the latest information regarding their services.
We regret the inconvenience caused by this action.
