“Charleroi Airport has announced a joint strike. All flights scheduled for this Friday are cancelled,” Charleroi Airport said in a statement. Passengers are advised not to travel to the airport and to contact their airline.
At least 87 flights are scheduled to depart from the airport on Friday, according to its website, including six flights from Brussels Airport, which is about 70 kilometers (44 miles) away.
