New Delhi: Two crew members of Jet Airways were among those injured in the bomb blasts that rocked Brussels' Zaventem airport on Tuesday morning, the airline conformed in a statement. Two of Jet Airways' flights from India had landed before and around the time of the attack but all passengers and crew were safe.
The attacks coincidentally came a day after the private Indian airline announced it will shift its European base out of Brussels to Amsterdam.
The injured staff members have received medical care, it said.
"Jet Airways guests and staff on the landside at Brussels airport have been moved away far-off from the terminal. Transit guests who were in the terminal building have been shifted to hangers in coaches," the airline said in a statement.
"Our Brussels staff is co-ordinating with airport authorities and security agencies to arrange immigration formalities as soon as possible to move the transit guests out of the airport."
