Brussels airport says it will partially reopen for passenger flights on Friday evening after its closure because of last week's deadly terror attacks. 

Tents have been erected in front of Zaventem international airport, and will be used as temporary departure halls, so passengers do not have to enter the damaged areas. 

The provisional arrangement would allow the airport to process 800 departing passengers per hour, which is about one-fifth its normal capacity. However airport police warned of a planned strike on Sunday in protest over what they said were lax security measures by authorities.
