Belgian Airports at a Standstill After Air Traffic Failure: Authorities

Brussels: Belgian airports were at a standstill Wednesday after an electrical failure at air traffic control in Brussels caused Belgium-bound flights to be diverted, with all departures also delayed until further notice.

"Because of a technical failure with air traffic control no departures or landings are possible at Brussels Airport till 14H00. This is a nationwide problem," Brussels airport authorities said in a statement.
