BRUSSELS -- Brussels airport said on Saturday that it will not re-open for passenger flights before March 29, days after suicide bombing attacks killed 31 people and injured more than 300 others.

According to a statement issued by the airport authorities, the Zaventem airport is now "studying a temporary solution to partially resume passenger flights, and considering new security measures at Belgian airports, decided by the federal government."

On Tuesday morning, two suicide bombers blew themselves up at the airport while another bombing hit a metro station close to the European Union complex. The Islamic State claimed the attacks.
