The Belgian subsidiary of Lufthansa is cancelling close to 700 flights over the summer holiday period to reduce workload and avoid strikes, according to Belgian media.

It amounts to around six per cent of its scheduled flights, Belga and L'Echo reported on Monday.

Pilot and cabin crew unions of Brussels Airlines planned a three-day strike last month, after complaining that work pressure was too high and that the company has been aware of the situation for around a year, without providing a solution.

No one at Brussels Airlines was immediately available for comment.
