That accident occurred as an Armavia Airbus 320 was preparing to land on the Russian Black Sea resort of Sochi.
In today's incident, four Brussels airport employees were injured, one seriously.
The fire broke out around midnight in a maintenance hangar and took two hours to quell.
The other planes involved belonged to the Belgian military, the Greek carrier Hellas Jet, and Air Arabia, a low-cost airline operating out of the United Arab Emirates.
