Airline and train cancellations to Brussels

Monday, 08 Dec, 2014 0

Airlines and trains have again been forced to cancel services to Brussels due to a strike in Belgium.

EasyJet has cancelled 22 flights and British Airways has cancelled 12 due to the 24-hour general strike.

There are no Eurostar services operating to and from Brussels today or next Monday when another strike is scheduled.

The rail operator said services on the Brussels route will only be able to operate to and from Lille Europe on those days.

EasyJet said: "EasyJet has been advised of a 24 hour general strike in Belgium from 21:00 local time on Sunday 7 December  to 21:00 on Monday 8 December .

"Like all airlines, EasyJet’s flights to and from Belgium will be affected and we apologise for any inconvenience caused despite this being beyond the airline’s control."

Last week services on the Eurostar and ferries were disrupted by a series of national strikes in Belgium.

The strikes are in response to austerity measures that the government says are needed to balance Belgium’s budget by 2018 and tackle national debt.
