BRUSSELS – Belgian airspace reopened on Jan 30 after a closure lasting a little over an hour due to a technical issue with the air traffic controllers’ Skeyes computer system, Brussels airport said on social media platform X.

The disruption ended after Skeyes rebooted its system, a Skeyes spokesperson told the local media.

The closure forced a flight carrying Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico to a meeting with European Commission officials in Brussels to turn around and return to Slovakia, a spokesperson for the country’s European Union representative office said.

A Skeyes spokesperson told local news broadcaster VRT that it became clear at about 3pm (10pm Singapore time) that the air traffic control system used to manage Belgian airspace was “not functioning properly”.

He added that all aircraft operating within the airspace controlled by Skeyes at that time – up to an altitude of approximately 7,500m – were rerouted to neighbouring countries using a backup system.

Belgium’s main airports are in Zaventem municipality in Brussels and in Charleroi, with smaller airports in Antwerp, Liege and Ostend. REUTERS
