Brussels Airport faced temporary disruption after a gas leak during nearby construction forced authorities to close access roads to the terminal. Officials urged passengers to use rail only, noting the airport railway station remained operational. Direct train services from Brussels city centre and other major Belgian cities continued, offering a quick alternative to keep travelers connected.
Brussels Airport says about half of departing flights could be cancelled on May 12 due to a national trade union demonstration against federal government policies. The airport expects security and ground handling staff participation to disrupt operations, prompting airlines to cut departures to maintain safety and manage passenger flow. Travelers are advised to expect delays and plan alternatives.
