Brussels Airport Ready to Reopen, Possibly by Weekend
Airport authorities await ‘political’ approval for restart

Brussels Airport on Thursday received approval from the fire services and the Belgian Civil Aviation Authority (BCAA) for a partial restart of passenger flights at the facility, which sustained severe damage in a terrorist attack on March 22. However, government authorities have yet to formally decide on a restart date, said the airport in a statement. As a result, no passenger flights will take place until at least the weekend. The airport hasn’t operated since March 22, when three bombs that exploded—two at the facility’s departure area and a third at a Brussels subway station—killed 35 people.
