Air Canada activates flexible rebooking policy for Brussels due to strike

Air Canada has activated a flexible rebooking policy for flights to Brussels due to labour action that is expected to happen on March 12, 2026.

The Strike Belgian National Manifestation is a national day of action that has been called by Belgian trade unions. A 24-hour strike notice has been issued, covering all multiple sectors.

This will enable workers across the country to participate in a large-scale demonstration in Brussels.

For Belgium-bound travellers who currently have a reservation, Air Canada, as per this February 13 notice, has implemented a policy that makes it possible to make voluntary changes to the itinerary if:

• the customer purchased an Air Canada ticket no later than February 13, 2026, for travel from Brussels on March 12, 2026.

If the itinerary includes a flight from Brussels Airport (BRU) on March 12, 2026, travellers can change their flight free of charge, between March 11 and March 19, 2026.

Affected travellers can call 1-888-247-2262 to change your flight, free of charge, to another Air Canada destination, subject to availability in the cabin originally purchased. A fare difference may apply.

If the customer prefers not to travel, they can cancel their booking and choose to receive a credit to their AC Wallet or convert the value of the ticket to a Future Travel Credit, the airline said. Click here for more about credit options.

Those who purchased a ticket with Air Canada Vacations are advised to reach out to the tour operator directly.
