Brussels’ international airport will reopen on Sunday following suicide bombing attacks that killed more than 30 people in the Belgian capital last month, its operator said.
On March 22, two men blew themselves up in the departure hall of the Brussels Zaventem airport, while a third set off an explosion at a subway station near the city’s European Union headquarters.
Police unions demanding additional security measures had blocked the resumption of operations, but inspections of passengers and luggage upon arrival at the airport were agreed late Friday between union representatives and Interior Ministry officials, dpa reported.
The “partial” resumption of air traffic will start Sunday, the company said, adding that it would take several weeks for all flights to run as normal.
