Brussels airport says 110 extra flights cancelled on Wednesday due to strike

Brussels Airport will cancel 110 of the 203 incoming flights on Wednesday, in addition to the departing flights already scrapped due to a nationwide strike, a spokesperson said, confirming a report by Belgian broadcaster VRT.

He added that it will be up to the airlines to reroute the cancelled flights and that no cancellations are currently expected among the remaining 93 incoming flights.

Part of the airport's security and ground-handling staff will take part in the strike, which is being held in protest at the government's austerity plans.
