BRUSSELS, Feb. 11, 2008 (Thomson Financial delivered by Newstex) -- Brussels Airport's new 17 mln eur low-cost terminal will be operational from next year, and expects to attract an additional 4 mln passengers to the airport annually, Belgian weekend press reported.
The new terminal will renovate a disused section of the airport, adding a new jetty with six gates, financial daily L'Echo reported, citing a decision taken by Brussels Airport management.
