MAp: "Whilst Brussels Airport would have recorded nearly 10% EBITDA growth for the first half of 2010, the one-off impact from the five day closure of European airspace as a consequence of the Icelandic volcano eruption resulted in a reduction in EBITDA in the second quarter and reduced EBITDA growth for the half year to 1.4%," Kerri Mather, CEO.
