Customers affected by the schedule change will be re-accommodated on alternative Delta services or flights operated by joint venture partners Air France and KLM.
Brussels Airport reopened on April 3 for three “symbolic” flights by Brussels Airlines, 12 days after suicide bombers attacked the airport and a Metro station.
Delta is continuing to operate from Antwerp and Liege. It plans to gradually add service at Brussels, but until the departure hall is rebuilt – a project that could be completed by July – the temporary departure area can process only 800 passengers per hour.
Other airlines will be able to operate from Brussels beginning next week.
