    "body": "<p><strong>A spontaneous strike by baggage handler Aviapartner caused delays at Brussels Airport on Monday morning.</strong></p><p>The strike began between 3.30am and 4.00am, disrupting check-in and boarding operations. Around 15 flights were affected, with delays of between one and three hours. Long queues also formed at check-in desks.</p><p>Only flights handled by Aviapartner have been impacted. Services operated by Alyzia, the airport&rsquo;s other ground handling company, are running as normal.</p><p>Airlines that use Aviapartner include TUI fly, Ryanair, Iberia and British Airways. Brussels Airlines is not affected because its flights are handled by Alyzia.</p><p>Brussels Airport has advised passengers to check the status of their flight on the airport&rsquo;s website or with their airline and to arrive at the airport on time.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><sup>&copy; BELGA PHOTO JOHN THYS</sup></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>",
