Local Man’s Family in Belgium Uses Brussels Airport Often

The family is ok, but was supposed to take flight to New York next week.

Mark Liebaert has cousins who live only sixty miles away from Brussels and use the airport there a lot.

Liebaert said his family is ok. His family are world travelers who use the Brussels airport often and one relative is slated to use it next week.

Liebaert has flown into Brussels before and describes the airport less like the ones in Minneapolis and Chicago and more like Duluth’s, but on a larger scale.

His relatives had been advised a day like this was coming, but they don’t live their lives in fear.

One relative had this comment on Facebook.

“They destroyed our gate to the world and a lot of people’s lives but not our spirit so that’s kind of how they are,” said Liebaert.

Mark’s family members will continue on and even continue to go into work.
