Belgian airline says Ivory Coast closed air space

Sun, 05 Dec 2010

Brussels - Belgian air carrier Brussels Airlines said Sudnay it has canceled until Monday any further flights to Ivory Coast after the West African nation had closed its air space.

The Belgian news agency Belga cited the airline as saying the Ivory Coast air space closure was to remain in effect through Sunday evening.

The development comes as Ivory Coast is engulfed in tensions in the aftermath of the controversial presidential elections in which President Laurent Ggagbo was sworn in to a new term of office Saturday despite claims that his opponent, Alassane Ouattara, had actually won the election.
