Belgian airports cancel all departing flights on March 31 due to strike

Both main airports serving Belgium's capital, Brussels Airport and Charleroi Airport, have cancelled all flights departing on March 31 due to a one-day nationwide strike, they said on Monday.

The strike is the second planned over the new government's labour market reforms.

Brussels Airport said arrivals would also be affected as ground crews and security staff join the walkout in protest at the new government's proposal to reform pensions and the labour market.
