Brussels Airlines is resuming flights to Tel Aviv on Sunday, with flights arriving from Frankfurt and Munich. But the unions representing its ground staff is demanding that baggage handlers be relieved of their duties for “moral reasons.”
They called on the airline “not to resume flights until the genocide in Gaza and the ‘West Bank’ has stopped.”
The joint trade union front for baggage airport service provider Alyzia also refuses to work for El Al and other companies considering flights to and from Israel. The French company specializes in airport ground services and handles baggage and cargo for Belgian flag carrier Brussels Airlines.
“Sometimes it is impossible to find the words to describe this madness,” union representatives wrote in a letter sent to the management of Alyzia.
