Fights resume but disrupted on Wednesday morning with Belgian security council due to meet
Brussels airport had to close on Tuesday night after reported drone sightings, disrupting dozens of flights and journeys of thousands of passengers.
It is the latest example of drones affecting civil airports in Europe, amid growing unease about the disruption they cause and potential motives behind their use.
Flights have resumed on Wednesday morning, but some disruption continued, with planes reported out of position as a result of airport closures, Niuewsblad reported. Some 400-500 passengers had to spend the night at the airport because of the sightings.
Separately, drones were also reported in the vicinity of the Kleine-Brogel and Florennes military airbases and a regional airport in Liège.
