Brussels Airlines said on Friday that it would cancel most of its flights on Oct. 1 due to a Belgian national strike of security workers. Brussels Airport, the largest airport in the country, had asked airlines to review their schedules because the strike would lead to a reduction in security screenings.

Brussels Airport, in Belgium's capital, the largest in the country, has urged airlines to reassess their flight schedules as a planned national strike by security personnel at Belgian airports, is expected to impact operations at Brussels Airport.

An airport has told passengers to avoid travel for one day amid industrial action and the disruption could spread to other transport hubs in Europe. Brussels Airport has asked airlines to minimise flights from the airport on October 1.
