Ukraine International Airlines (Kyiv) has urged passengers on flights to Brussels (Belgium) to limit themselves to hand luggage because of a strike by the freight handling personnel of the Swissport International company (Switzerland), which services the Brussels international airport, the airline company announced in a statement.
"At the moment the baggage tracking service at the Brussels international airport is not working and the numbers of personnel and equipment serving flights are extremely limited. Freight handlers are blocking access to aircraft by placing checked-in baggage at the airport's charter terminal," the statement said.
