Two recent pictures taken from a helicopter give a good overview of the old and new terminals at Zaventem airport near Brussels. On the lower picture the old (background left) and temporarily control towers (foreground left) are visible. Both are to be replaced by a new tower which gives a better overall view of the airport.
A very sunny and busy morning at Zaventem airport on 3 November 2005. The aircraft on the foreground is British Airways (Sun-Air of Scandinavia operated) BAe ATP OY-SVI (c/n 2061)
