The schedule of most of the flights, which land or take off the Brussels' airport, will be changed after the rescue services launched strike actions Friday morning, a spokesperson of the management announced.

The airport's fire brigade went on strike as a sign of protest against their low salaries.

The arriving flights will be diverted and the departing ones will be late or even cancelled.

"At the moment everything is easy but the chaos will come later as there are numerous arriving flights today. It is the end of the Easter holidays and many tourists return to their home countries," the spokesperson explained.
