Brussels Airport canceled more than 200 flights today, Wednesday, after major trade unions called for a strike and organized demonstrations and rallies in various cities of Belgium to protest against the decline in the purchasing power of citizens.
And the Belgian news agency 'Belga' reported that the airline TUI has transferred many flights to airports in Germany and the Netherlands, with buses being provided to transport passengers from these airports to Belgium.
According to the agency, it is also expected that trains will stop completely or operate with limited capacity in various Belgian regions, and public transport services will be affected.
The Belgian unions called last night for a strike on Wednesday, which is expected to significantly affect public services and companies across the country, in light of rising energy bills.
The unions said that the purpose of the strike was to demand an increase in purchasing power, while a number of officials expected a massive participation in the action.
