Brussels Airlines staff have threatened to strike over the company’s continued operation of flights to Israel. The labor action is being organized by unions citing ethical concerns regarding the ongoing conflict in the region.
In addition to ethical objections, the unions have raised concerns regarding the safety of flight operations. They point to current guidance from the Belgian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which advises against all non-essential travel to Israel and Jerusalem, as the basis for their assessment that the routes cannot be deemed sufficiently safe.
