Limited delay for scheduled traffic today due to the special events at and around Brussels Airport. Excellent job by all partners involved to minimise the impact. Near perfect planning and execution.

I missed it because the traffic got stuck near Antwerp. Now I go try to catch it tomorrow when she departs. Any idea of a possible departure time?

I thought at approx 20h, but no idea from which runway. Also take into account that routes around Brussels will be closed again.

Hello,
I was at 25L today :)
Something 'special' happened due to the 25R closure, 1 SN A319 and 1 Cityjet SSJ100 departed 25L :!:
I have some good video's about that, it will be online in a few days ;)

As observed near 25R final:
1845Z take-off of a B747, likely from 07L.
a few minutes later: a twinjet on a very similar course but climbing a bit more briskly
one hour later: another very similar twinjet on a very similar take-off
None of them visible on FR24
