Brussels Airport to partially reopen after bombings
April 01, 2016

Passenger flights could take off again from Brussels Airport on Friday for the first time since two deadly bomb attacks hit the check-in area on March 22. 

Despite widespread damage caused by the blasts, Zaventem is now ready to run a service at 20 per cent of normal capacity, said the company who runs the airport in a statement. 

The fire service and aviation authorities have given the airport the all-clear to partially reopen less than two weeks after attacks on the Belgian capital, which killed more than 30 people and injured hundreds at the airport and Maelbeek Metro station.
