“Limited” delays continued on Saturday midday at Brussels Airport following the passage of storm Eunice on Friday. Panels have indeed come off the roof of an airport terminal, Brussels Airport said. A safety zone has been delimited on the tarmac. Inside the building, access to certain areas has also been restricted to ensure the safety of travelers.
The delays are nevertheless limited to ten flights, according to spokesperson Ihsane Chioua Lekhli. “Some flights must be operated at the aircraft door, as no boarding bridge is available,” she commented. The airport was not yet able to specify how long it would take before a return to normal.
Compromised holidays
Unfortunately, it is the passengers who bear the brunt of the consequences. For some, it is a long-awaited vacation that starts badly, or is even compromised. This is particularly the case of Geert who was to fly to Zurich in order to then reach Dubai. A flight that was however more than an hour late. “And therefore, we risk missing our connection to Dubai,” he told our colleagues at Laatste Nieuws before boarding the plane. “The delay was due to a shortage of buses to take passengers on planes. Incomprehensible. »
The man therefore risks missing his vacation because he will only have ten minutes in Switzerland to join his other plane for Dubai. “So there is a good chance that our vacation will start on a bad note. »
