A brief capacity reduction due to air traffic control under staffing forced Brussels Airport this morning to tweet and to inform passengers. Air traffic was disturbed for a short period.
Aviation24.be checked both the Brussels Airport departure/arrival website and the delay index of flightradar24 but didn’t notice a real delay impact on flights.
Due to Air Traffic Control understaffing, air traffic is temporarily disturbed, possible impact on flights. Please contact your airline.
