Brussels Airport aiming for limited reopening
Brussels airport is trying out a make-shift check-in area that could allow a limited restart of passenger flights in the coming days after the attacks last week. A temporary structure has been put up to bypass the departure area that was heavily damaged when 2 bombs exploded there last Tuesday. "What we have today is a test to see whether all our procedures are in order," a spokeswoman for Brussels Airport said. If all requirements were met, the airport could reopen Wednesday at the earliest, but only at a maximum capacity of 20%. The tests include checking security and fire procedures as well as operational items such as baggage handling and the signs in the terminal. The coordinator for Brussels Airport, BSC, said initially only a few flights for Brussels Airlines would be allowed to depart. <br/>
