Royal Air Maroc Grounds Brussels Flights Amid Belgian Workers' Strike
Royal Air Maroc has announced the cancellation of several flights to and from Brussels due to ongoing strikes in Belgium. The airline confirmed that flights AT678/AT679 and AT832/AT833 have been affected by the industrial action.
The strikes, which have caused significant disruptions at Brussels Airport, involve over 1,000 essential workers, including cleaning and hospitality staff. These employees are demanding improved wages and working conditions, with a large gathering planned for noon on October 1st.
In response to the situation, Brussels Airport has taken the unprecedented step of canceling all departing passenger flights for the day. The airport administration cited safety concerns for both passengers and staff as the primary reason for this decision.
Royal Air Maroc has expressed its commitment to assisting affected passengers, stating, "We offer several solutions to our dear passengers affected by these cancellations." The airline has directed customers to their website for more information and alternative arrangements.
The impact of the strike extends beyond Royal Air Maroc, with reports indicating major air route disruptions across various airlines operating in and out of Brussels. The involvement of external security service providers at Belgium's largest airports is expected to have a significant impact on flight operations.
This industrial action highlights the ongoing challenges faced by the aviation industry as it grapples with labor disputes and the need to balance operational efficiency with employee satisfaction. As the situation unfolds, travelers are advised to stay informed about potential changes to their flight schedules and to remain in contact with their respective airlines for updates and assistance.
