Charleroi Airport paralyzed by 24-night air traffic controller strike; hundreds of flights canceled

Air traffic controllers at Charleroi Airport began a 24-night strike on September 16 after conciliation with Skeyes management failed. The strike, running until October 10 from 10 p.m. to 8 a.m., has already forced Ryanair to cancel 14 round-trip links and disrupted early morning flights. The prolonged disruption will impact regional air travel and airline operations, with further cancellations likely.
