Brussels, Nov. 6 -- Dozens of flights at Belgium's main international airport were cancelled early on Wednesday after drone sightings overnight forced it to close temporarily, prompting Prime Minister Bart De Wever to call a meeting with senior ministers to discuss safety concerns.

According to EuroNews, the airport operator said about 400-500 travellers spent the night at Brussels Airport after 41 flights were cancelled and 24 were diverted to other airports. Beds, water and snacks were arranged to keep passengers comfortable.

It was the first time that Brussels Airport had been shut down because of drones. The incident overnight on Wednesday followed a series of unidentified drone flights over the weekend, EuroNews reported.
