Bombed Brussels airport departure hall to partly reopen Sunday

BRUSSELS, (APP/AFP) – The departure hall at
Brussels airport, hit in March by a deadly double suicide
bombing claimed by the Islamic State 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.
