Part of the roof of terminal A at Brussels Airport came off due to the violent gusts. A security perimeter has been established on the tarmac and in the building. Air traffic has also been interrupted, as it was too dangerous to load and unload planes due to the wind.
“Some of the panels on the roof of terminal A have come off due to the violent gusts”, confirms Ihsane Chioua-Lekhli, spokesperson for Brussels Airport. “However, there were no casualties“. A security perimeter has been set up on the tarmac and, inside the building, an area has been closed to passengers and staff.
Therefore, many arriving passengers had to wait a long time for their luggage to be unloaded and several departures were delayed by up to three hours.
