ALBAWABA - Charleroi Airport in Belgium is experiencing another day of complete flight cancellations as the strike initiated by its employees continues. The walkout, which started yesterday, has led to all incoming and outgoing flights being suspended.

Airport officials confirmed that the strike is still ongoing, resulting in the suspension of all flight operations. Travelers scheduled to fly today are urged to reach out to their airlines for further assistance.

The strike, which began yesterday morning, involves staff from various airport departments, including baggage handling, check-in, refueling, and security. The workers are demanding improved working conditions, reduced workloads, and a change in the management's approach.

Disruptions due to the strike were also experienced yesterday. In response, meetings between airport management and union representatives are underway to address and resolve the ongoing issues.
