Dear press,

Please find an update for Brussels Airport regarding airport operations.

1.     There will be no passenger flights tomorrow. Brussels Airport and airlines are in narrow contact to find suitable solutions for all passengers.

2.     Brussels Airport is looking at the possibilities to start cargo flights today or tomorrow. Brucargo landside has been cleared since yesterday. As soon as Brucargo airside is cleared, cargo flights could resume.

Dear journalist,

At the moment the crime scene investigation is still ongoing at the terminal of Brussels Airport. Until further notice, the perimeter around the airport remains as it is.

We are unfortunately unable to give any indication on further timing about when the terminal will be cleared and ready for inspection by airport staff to determine the damage and to start reconstruction.

Partial aerial activities will resume tonight. Cargo flights and private flights handled by General Aviation can resume as of now. Passenger flights are suspended until Friday included.

A wake will be held this evening by airport staff in remembrance of the victims.  Our management will be present at the wake. Out of respect for the victims, their family and our employees, interviews will not be given. Thank you for your understanding.
