Flights in Belgium are slowly resuming following a disruption caused by a technical issue with the country’s air traffic control network, according to information posted by the Brussels Airport.

Earlier Thursday, airplanes had briefly been barred from landing or taking off at any of the countries’ airports, including Brussels and the Ryanair Holdings Plc hub in the southern city of Charleroi.
