Charleroi airport staff have announced a strike set to take place on Thursday, which is expected to cause significant disruption at the airport. More than 17,500 departing passengers and 94 flights will be affected. In an effort to avoid the strike, unions and management are scheduled to hold further talks on Wednesday.
BSCA’s head of communications confirmed this after a meeting between the parties on Tuesday evening. However, another meeting on Tuesday evening did not yield any results, and negotiations continued into Wednesday morning. Nathalie Pierard, BSCA’s head of communications, sent an email shortly after midnight confirming the plans for another meeting in the hopes of reaching a resolution.
Charleroi Airport is advising passengers to monitor the situation through their communication channels and apologizes for any inconvenience caused by the strike. It is crucial for management and the unions to reach an agreement before Thursday to prevent the strike and ensure smooth operations at the airport. The ongoing negotiations aim to address the concerns of airport staff and find a solution that satisfies all parties involved.
