Belgium has suspended all air traffic operations following an unannounced strike by air traffic controllers, with only government and emergency service flights permitted to operate. The controllers had already conducted spontaneous strike action overnight into Tuesday, causing numerous flight cancellations and delays across the country's airports. The sudden work stoppage has effectively shut down Belgium's civil aviation system, disrupting travel for thousands of passengers.
