Brussels airport has reopened for three "symbolic" flights amid tight security controls, 12 days after an attack by suicide bombers killed 16 people there, the BBC reported.

Three Brussels Airlines flights were scheduled to depart for European destinations.

Passengers were screened on an approach road and again before check in.

Attacks on the airport and a Brussels metro station by so-called Daesh on March 22 left 32 people dead.
