Fire at Antwerp Airport - no casualties

Post by LX-LGX »

Last night (7th Dec 2008), around 02h00, neighboors noticed a fire in one hangar at ANR. Press mentions it was at INE Aviation, so trust that's I&E Aviation:

Although the airport is closed during the night, the airport services and the fire brigades from Antwerpen (downtown) and ANR (Antwerp Airport) managed to evacuate all planes in the hangar. Only the I&E office is destroyed, but the main part of the building isn't.
