Re: Reopening Brussels Airport after the 22/03/2016 terror attacks

If the pre-check continues to run so smooth as it currently does, there hardly is any need to come earlier to the airport. 2 days ago I had to be at the airport (through the pre-check), in stead of driving 35 minutes to work, it took me 1 hour. very smooth... :? And this is for an airport running a...

Re: Reopening Brussels Airport after the 22/03/2016 terror attacks

I would say wait and see. As we say in dutch: de soep wordt nooit zo warm gegeten als ze opgediend wordt. Now that BAC is obliged to do entrance checks, they will do everything to avoid long waiting times. Long waiting lines is not good for their image ad their revenue. And maybe that is why renovat...

Timetable for 1/04 is back empty on the website of Brussels Airlines.

Re: Re-opening Brussels Airport after the 22/03/2016 terror attacks

Around noon,I've seen on the page of Brussels Airlines a link to the schedule of 1st of april. When I clicked on it, the list was empty, and sometime later the link was removed from the site.

So hopefully this means they are in full discussion with BRU for starting again on friday..

Does anyone know why there was such a traffic jam towards the airport this morning? Which activity on the airport is causing that much traffic? Are these reated to the 800 persons needed for the test (which only starts this afternoon)? Since Today I'm working at Zaventem (Da Vincilaan) and I should ...

Re: Korongo Airlines

I've seen that they removed the timetables from their website. As of now, you need to call them for obtaining the flights.

Does this mean something? Are they in trouble and reducing flights?
