Brussels Airport is advising all passengers to arrive on time for their flights. ‘We’re recommending everyone to be at the airport three hours before departure, especially passengers to non-Schengen destinations, such as the UK, the US or Turkey,’ said Brussels Airport spokesperson Anke Franssen.
Fine-free week
Police are carrying out the work-to-rules at the airport during the entire week, to denounce a staff shortage. Though, during the same period, traffic police are having a fine-free week. This means that, for some felonies, officers will not be handing out tickets, and you’ll be able to get away with a formal warning.
The fine-free week is meant to put pressure on the government to look for a solution for the unfavourable police retirement plan. After a recent verdict of the Constitutional Court, officers have to work a couple of years extra before their retirement.
