Flights between London and Brussels cancelled for second day

Flights between the UK and Brussels will be cancelled for a second day following the deadly bomb attacks in the Belgian capital.

All flights at the city's main airport were suspended after two explosions in the departure hall.

The airport has confirmed that it will remain closed on Wednesday.

All Eurostar trains to and from Brussels were suspended for most of today, with services from London terminating in the French city of Lille.

The cross-Channel operator said two trains from London to Brussels would run tonight "for those whose travel is a necessity" with a full service expected to resume tomorrow.

British Airways said customers due to travel to Brussels up to and including March 29 can alter their bookings.

Brussels Airlines, which serves a number of UK airports, also cancelled its services from Brussels for the next two days.

Security has also been stepped up at transport hubs in the UK.

A Heathrow Airport spokesman said: "In the light of events in Brussels Airport we are working with the police at Heathrow who are providing a high-visibility presence."

Gatwick issued a statement, which read: "As a result of the terrible incidents in Brussels we have increased our security presence and patrols around the airport."

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) updated its travel advice for Britons in Brussels, urging them to "stay away from crowded places and avoid public transport at this time".

Anyone who is concerned about family or friends in Brussels can contact the FCO's helpline on 020 7008 0000.
