The cause of the power failure that happened at around 6am (0400 GMT) has not been revealed yet. The 90-minute cut disrupted outgoing flights, with passengers unable to check in and board planes.
Frustrated passengers have taken to social networks to complain of “chaos” and being stuck in long queues at the airport. Others said they were afraid of missing their flights.
The airport says it will take a few hours before normal operations are resumed. Some departures are running late, but no cancelations have been announced yet.

Last month, Brussels Zaventem Airport was plagued by chaotic overcrowding following the reopening of its departure hall, which was rocked by suicide blasts in March. Stringent security made thousands of passengers wait hours in long queues.
The departure hall was the main target of Islamic State-linked terrorists on March 22, when the Belgian capital was hit by twin suicide bombings at Zaventem Airport and the Maelbeek metro station.
Passengers still waiting in line at pre-screening are now gradually admitted to the departures hall.

Check in & luggage systems have been restarted after the power cut but it will take a few hours before we can resume normal operations.
