Brussels Airport has just informed us that, during works to the airport stands on apron 3, a World War II bomb was found.
The place where the bomb was found is at a safe distance of the terminal buildings and passenger operations.
DOVO/SEDEE (the Belgian Army’s explosive ordnance disposal unit) is on site and confirms that the bomb does not present any danger. It has nevertheless set a safety perimeter of 100 metres.
Operations have not been affected.
The bomb will be detonated tonight by DOVO/SEDEE. The buildings of Brussels Airport Company, KPMG and Deloitte must be empty. No people will be allowed on the windows of Pier B facing south.
Update: SEDEE/DOVO was able to dismantle the bomb without detonating it.
