The strike may have ended, but Charleroi Airport will not be open to departing travelers today. Management had previously decided to close the building all day for safety reasons. Most airlines had already canceled or rescheduled departing flights. From tomorrow Charleroi airport should reopen regularly.
Since this morning the police have also blocked the access road to the airport. “Departing passengers are turned away, those who come to pick up arriving passengers can pass,” says VRT NWS reporter Nico Cardone. “Ryanair customers who were supposed to leave today will either get a new ticket or get their money back, he says there. TUI has moved flights from Charleroi to Zaventem.”
