Brussels Airport to partially reopen Friday

Brussels airport said it will partially reopen for passenger flights Friday evening, following the March 22 bomb attacks. Casting doubt on those plans however, airport police warned of a planned strike Sunday in protest over what they said were lax security measures planned by authorities. "The measures proposed by the authorities are insufficient," Belgian broadcaster RTBF cited the police union as saying. The strike would delay plans to allow some flights to resume, a spokeswoman for the airport said. "As long as there is no agreement, the airport will not reopen," Florence Muls said. Belgian police, the fire service and the Belgian Civil Aviation Authority have been checking the airport, whose departure hall was badly damaged by 2 blasts, to see if it was ready to resume service. <br/>
