The departure hall at Brussels airport, hit in March by a deadly double suicide bombing claimed by the IS group, will partly reopen on Sunday, the management said.
The twin explosions on March 22 killed 16 people and devastated the departure hall, shattering the building’s glass facade, collapsing ceilings and destroying check-in desks.
The airport was completely closed for 12 days after the attacks and has progressively been restarting operations, though it is not expected to return to full capacity until June.
“After a reopening ceremony, passengers from three flights on Sunday afternoon will be able to check in in the departure hall,” airport management said in a statement on Saturday.
