Thousands of passengers face disruption after flights between the UK and Brussels were cancelled for a second day following bomb attacks in the Belgian capital.

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

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

The incident at Brussels Zaventem airport caused travel disruption in Scotland. 

One flight left Edinburgh Airport for the Belgian capital at 8.30am this morning but it is not thought the plane was permitted to land at the bombed terminal. 

Another scheduled flight leaving Edinburgh at 3pm has been cancelled. 

A spokesman for Edinburgh Airport said the “situation is fluid and live”. 

There are no direct flights to Brussels Zaventem airport from either Glasgow or Aberdeen. 

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

The cross-Channel operator said two trains from London to Brussels would run "for those whose travel is a necessity".
