The farmers have been taking action at the airport since Monday morning. They initially blocked all freight traffic, but reached an agreement with a transport company on Tuesday. As a result, activists are now allowing trucks with perishable goods to pass through. “That rule remains in effect. We do not intend to affect that company or the consumer.”
Travelers also experience virtually no inconvenience at the airport, although some viewers report problems with public transport. De Lijn would no longer be able to reach the airport. “We feel a lot of support from consumers and therefore do not want to affect them with the action. We are also allowing trucks with kerosene for passenger aircraft to pass,” says Mark Wulfrancke of the General Farmers’ Syndicate (ABS).
