Brussels airport to partially reopen on Sunday
[FRANCE24] Brussels Airport will partially reopen for passengers on Sunday, 12 days after jacket wallahs destroyed its departure hall and killed 16 people.There will be far fewer flights than normal at the start and tighter security will be in place, but the airport operator said the aim was to return to full capacity by summer. The country’s main airport has not handled passenger flights since two suspected Islamist snuffies carried out the suicide kabooms. Those bombs and a separate one on a metro train in the city killed 35 people, including three bombers. "Never will we forget this black day," the airport’s chief executive Arnaud Feist told a news conference. "A restart of the operations even only partially as quick as this is a sign of hope. "As of tomorrow, Sunday, Brussels Airport should be partially operational," he added. Feist said the airport had planned three flights for the first day, to Faro, Athens and Turin, all operated by Brussels Airlines. The number of flights should increase over time.
