WizzAir's flights to and from Brussels, however, are being carried out normally, with the company requiring from passengers departing from Brussels and Sofia to be at the airport, respectively, at least five and two hours earlier.
Moskovski has said traffic authorities (BULATSA) "stand ready" to take in diverted flights from other airports if necessary.
