Brussels Airport will be closed for departing passenger air traffic on Monday, March 31, 2025, due to a national strike.
Airlines can theoretically fly to Brussels Airport on Monday, but most, if not all, flights will likely be canceled.
You can access Brussels Airlines here.
Remember that EU/EEA airlines and non-community carriers for flights ex-EU/EEA are required to provide Duty to Care, such as accommodation and meals, per EC 261/2004, and rebook affected passengers to their final destination at the earliest possibility.
Also, passengers can opt for a refund even on non-refundable fares if they prefer not to fly.
Brussels Airlines Announcement:
National manifestation on Monday, March 31
Due to the national demonstration in Belgium on Monday, March 31st, and the announced strike by several operational services at Brussels Airport, we are forced to cancel a significant number of flights departing and arriving on March 30th and March 31st.
In case your travel plans will be impacted by a cancellation, we will contact you as soon as possible via email. You can always check your reservation via My Bookings on our website, our chat assistant, or via your travel agent.
However, in case you no longer wish to fly, please request your refund on our website or via your travel agency.
We sincerely regret the inconveniences caused by this manifestation and we thank you for your understanding.
Brussels Airport Announcement:
National strike on Monday 31 March
What is the situation?
Due to a national strike on Monday 31 March and the announced strike of a large number of the security staff and the personnel of the handlers, we expect major disruptions to airport operations on that day.
No departing passenger flights
To ensure the safety of passengers and staff, we have decided, in consultation with the airlines, not to operate any departing passenger flight on 31 March. The airlines will contact passengers whose flight has been impacted. We ask not to come to the airport on that day.
Arriving passenger flights
As departing passenger flights are cancelled, cancellations are also possible on arriving flights. We advise all passengers to check the status of their flight with their airline or on our website or the app.
The flight overview on our website will show cancellations only once they are registered by the airline.
We regret any inconvenience caused by this union action.
Conclusion
There is quite a difference between Brussels Airlines and Brussels Airport’s announcements about the situation at the airport.
I assume that all passenger flights to/from the Brussels Airport are canceled on Monday, although some may still show operating.
