Brussels Airport Departure Hall Reopens

Brussels Airport has partially reopened its departure hall, about six weeks after suicide bombers killed 16 people there.

The two attackers detonated suitcase bombs in the departure hall on March 22, before a third bomber blew himself up on a metro train in the city. In all, they killed 32 people.

From Monday, 111 check-in counters will be open in the airport departure hall and another 36 in a temporary building. This brings departure passenger capacity to at least 80 percent of that before the attacks, the airport management company said.

"The reopening is an important moment for the entire airport community and Belgium," said Arnaud Feist, chief executive of Brussels Airport Company.
