“From Sunday morning, Brussels Airport should be partially operational,” Feist told a press conference today, adding that the resumption of services “plays an important role in our grieving process”. “This restart, even if it’s only partially, is a sign of hope,” he said.

The first scheduled flights to Athens, Turin and Faro will be operated by Brussels Airlines and start leaving from tomorrow afternoon. A total of 32 people were killed in the March 22 attacks on the airport and a metro station in Brussels.
