Brussels Airline decamps after terrorist bomb wrecks main hub

Brussels Airlines, which lost its main airport hub after the worst terrorist attack in Belgium’s history, has decamped to 4 other cities to maintain service, even using buses to get people to flights at alternative airports. After the bombing, the carrier shifted some airplanes and crew to Frankfurt and Zurich, to maintain links with Africa and the US. Flights to European cities were moved to Antwerp and Liege, both about an hour from the capital. The airline hired buses to take passengers to alternative airports. Costs tied to the attacks will amount to a double-digit million-euro amount, a spokesman said. “The challenge we face is huge,” the spokesman said. “Our home base is closed, organising the flights from other airports is very demanding”. <br/>
