BRUSSELS (AFP) - 

Brussels airport will not reopen before Tuesday as it implements new security measures and repairs the departure hall wrecked by two suicide bomb attacks earlier this week, it said Saturday.

"Passenger flights at Brussels Airport will not resume before Tuesday 29 March," Zaventem airport said in a statement.
