Brussels Airport to Resume Flights After Terror Attack

BRUSSELS (AP) -- The head of Brussels Airport says a limited number of passenger flights are planned to resume Sunday.

CEO Arnaud Feist made the announcement Saturday in a news conference at a hotel near the airport. He said the first service on Sunday should be three flights operated by Brussels Airlines, Belgium's leading carrier, to Faro in Portugal, Turin in Italy and Athens.

The airport has been closed since the March 22 suicide bombings that killed 16 victims at the airport and another 16 in the Brussels subway and wounded 270 people.

Feist says the country has just lived through "the darkest days in the history of aviation in Belgium."
