This evening 16 diverted wide body airplanes landed in Brussels Airport with approximately 300 pax on board of each airplane. The Brussels Airport staff and the Red Cross are doing all the necessary to provide accommodation for the night. Those passengers without a Schengen visa will have to stay in the terminal. Brussels Airlines staff too have made tremendous efforts to accommodate the others in Brussels hotels.
Just saw on BBC World that LHR's northern runway is in use again ...
Is there any information available (and, if so, where can it be found) as to when all these diverted birds are going to leave BRU ? Any chance they'll still be there tomorrow morning ? I might gear myself up for a little visit to BRU (15 Minutes from where I live...). www.brusselsairport.be does not seem to be too much of a help ...
