For those who where there or could not attend the 4th EU-Africa summit from 2-3 April 2014.
Here a photoreport. Report is from the days 1 and 3 April (Tuesday and Thursday) and includes a number of arrivals and departures after the summit. Basically arrivals where spread from Monday till Friday (with some exceptions arriving on Sunday) and the inbound peak on Tuesday, the outbound peak on Thursday and Friday.
Since on the 1-2 April there also was a NATO foreign ministers meeting, also some visitors of that meeting are included.
I did not see them all, missed a few (due to late or early arrivals and could not be there any day the whole day).
