Global airlines waive fees in wake of Brussels attack

U.S. and global airlines are waiving rebooking fees for Brussels passengers in the wake of Tuesday’s terror attack there.

American, Delta, United and Air Canada are among the global carriers that have issued rebooking policies for customers ticketed to fly to the city. A number of European carriers had issued similar policies. All global carriers serving Brussels that had not already done so are likely consider doing the same.

As for the waivers already in place, details vary by carrier. Generally, the rebooking policies let passengers make one change to their itineraries without paying the standard change fee or a recalculated fare.

Regardless of the waivers, customers scheduled to fly to, from or through Brussels this week should be prepared for uncertainty and schedule disruptions.

Passengers whose flights have been canceled are entitled to a refund if they do not seek to continue their travels.

Here are the details for the flexible rebooking policies from several big global carriers as of 10:45 a.m. ET on Tuesday, March 22:
