Brussels airport says looking at temporary check-in desks

Brussels Airport has said an examination of the main building housing the departure hall wrecked by two suicide bombers shows the structure is stable and it will now see if temporary check-in desks can be installed.

"This first, provisional analysis shows that both the main building and the connector building where hand luggage and passengers are checked, are stable. Brussels Airport will now investigate the possibilities to install temporary check-in desks," it said in a statement yesterday.

The airport said earlier it would not reopen before Tuesday.
