Belgium: Airspace reopened after computer error resolved July 19 /update 1

Event

Belgian airspace completely reopened on Thursday, July 19, after a flight data processing system error at Belgocontrol, the country's air traffic controller, closed the airspace to planes flying under 8000 m (26,000 ft) from roughly 16:00 to 18:00 (local time). Though the error has been resolved, lingering flight delays are possible at Belgian airports (notably including Brussels Airport [BRU]) in the coming hours.

Advice

Individuals traveling via Belgian airports are advised to monitor developments to the situation, confirm flight reservations, and contact their airline for more information.
