An abandoned suitcase was found at a check-in counter on Thursday afternoon. Something that, according to Brussels Airport, has often been the case in recent days. Witnesses speak of a woman who just before wanted to leave her luggage at the pharmacy in the departure hall. However, he would not have acceded to that request. It may be the same luggage that has now been found.
“We do not want to run any risk and have asked DOVO on the spot,” said a spokesman for the federal police. In anticipation of the arrival of an explosive dog, the (few) people present were asked to go outside. It is not known how long the evacuation of the departure hall and the vaccination center will take.
