Charleroi Airport in Belgium has re-opened following strike action which led to the cancellation of flights.

Charleroi, near Brussels, is Ryanair's Belgium destination and the airline has not yet announced when it will resume services to and from the airport.

Earlier this weekend, Ryanair warned customers that its flights to Charleroi had been cancelled.

Security staff at Charleroi Airport walked off the job yesterday in a dispute over privatisation.

Last night, they decided to suspend their action, allowing flights to resume after two days of cancellations.

Inward and outbound flights were expected to resume from at the airport from around 8.00pm, according to a union spokesman.

But an airport spokesman said that Ryanair, the main airline  using the airport, had cancelled its flights until Monday.

Airport management advised passengers not to come to Charleroi before checking their flight on the airport website (www.charleroi-airport.com).
