The Brussels Airport is expected to partially resume passenger flights on Sunday, 12 days after a deadly terrorist attack rocked one of the airport’s departure halls.
The limited passenger service is expected to begin with three flights by Brussels Airlines, airport CEO Arnaud Feist said.
Feist said he hopes full passenger service will be restored by the end of June or the beginning of July in time for the summer vacation season.
The coordinated bombings at the airport and a subway station in the center of Brussels on March 22 killed at least 35 people, including three Americans.
The main suspect believed to have helped execute the bombings at the airport remains on the run.
After being immediately placed on the highest alert level following the attacks, Belgium’s security level has since been downgraded. Paul Van Tieghem, director of the office that evaluates threats to the nation, said after the attacks that there was no indication another attack was imminent but the threat was still serious and possible.
