More than 300 flights were canceled due to the strike scheduled for Thursday to Saturday on Brussels Airlines, which will affect 40,000 passengers, said the Belgian airline, a subsidiary of Lufthansa.
Due to the strike of the pilots and the crews of the aircraft, the company will be able to secure only “almost 40% of the original flight schedule”, he clarified.
“The cancellations concern about 315 flights, of which 38 are long-haul flights and affect almost 40,000 passengers,” Brussels Airlines said.
“The passengers of these flights were notified and offered an alternative. If they prefer not to travel, we can refund all the money,” Maike ‘Andries, a company spokeswoman, told AFP.
Pilots, flight attendants and flight attendants are complaining about staff shortages and overwork, demands that other companies also have to deal with amid a sudden recovery in aviation.
The anger of the airline workers also concerns the low-cost company Ryanair, whose unions in five European countries went on strike at the weekend, from Friday to Sunday.
Except for Belgium, where the movement of the Ryanair junction in Charleroi, in the south, is expected to be severely disrupted, Spain, France, Portugal and Italy are affected by this call for a strike during these three days.
Anger also grips British low-cost carrier EasyJet, with a Spanish union predicting a nine-day strike in July, mid-season, at airports in Barcelona, Malaga and Mallorca in the Balearic Islands.
