BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Three weeks after being struck by Islamic State suicide bombers, Brussels Airport was forced to close again briefly on Tuesday due to industrial action by Belgian air traffic controllers.
An hour after announcing the problems, the airport operator said in a tweet that limited flights were resuming. At 11.30 p.m. (2130 GMT) an online indicator board showed many flights were cancelled, delayed or diverted on Tuesday evening, but nearly all Wednesday's flights were confirmed, although trade unions have not announced any deal with their employers.
