Brussels airport set to reopen after terror attack

The airport will reopen on Wednesday at about 20 percent capacity as ongoing tests are carried out to determine if flights can resume. About 800 airport employees were asked to return to work on Monday to test temporary arrangements such as a transitional check-in area. Brussels Airport CEO Arnaud Feist said it could take months for the airport to return to operating at full capacity after the recent Islamic State bombings.
"The provisional structure will not be able to absorb the usual number we had before the attacks," Feist said Tuesday. "Although the structure of the building is intact, it will all have to be rebuilt, from the air conditioning to the check-in desks. And that will take months."
The airport needs government approval to reopen. Upon reopening, it will aim to process up to 1,000 passengers per hour instead of the usual average of 5,000.
