Brussels airport




 
Belgium's largest airport, Brussels airport,  is located in the town of Zaventem, Northeast of Brussels.
Of and on, for many years, flight plans have been a real issue as residents in the densely populated areas in and around Brussels have complained about the noise levels. 
The controversy opposes Flemish and Francophone communities and in the recent past,  new flight plans  have been proposed and altered.
With the election of May 25 drawing closer,  the case is suspended. 
Wondering what impact the election results will have on the situation.
