1st LD Writethru: Brussels airport not to re-open for passenger flights before March 29

Xinhua, March 26, 2016 Adjust font size:

Brussels Airport announced on Saturday that passenger flights are not expected to resume here before March 29.

Brussels Airport said in a statement that it is starting preparations to partially resume passenger flights and implement new security measures which the federal government imposes on Belgian airports.

The judicial inquiries in the terminal of Brussels Airport have been completed about four days after the attacks at Brussels Airport on Tuesday.

Brussels Airport Company received a permission on Friday afternoon to inspect the building with a small group of engineers to assess the damage.

A limited team of engineers and technicians of Brussels Airport Company will be given the access to the terminal building which was the scene of two terrorist bombings on Tuesday.

The team will examine the stability of the building, check the information technology systems, assess material damage and decide the process to renovate the terminal. Endit
