Skift Take
All of us are shaken by today's events, but blaming airports for proving an easy target in this case is not the answer. Security of citizens around the world is vital, but giving up the freedoms and unity of Europe in these circumstances is akin to capitulation.
Europe's Airports Council International (ACI-Europe), itself located in Brussels, released a statement expressing sorrow and shock at today's attacks in the city.
The organization has also presented its view going-forward on increased security at Europe's airports and asked for greater intelligence sharing throughout the region.
"We extend our deepest sympathy to the families and friends of the victims of today's attacks. Our thoughts are also with our colleagues at Brussels Airport and those working in the EU institutions and other organisations located near Maelbeek metro station," the organization said.
