A bomb threat targeting Brussels Airlines flight SN2581 to Berlin (to be operated by airBaltic A220-300 registered YL-ABB) prompted a full evacuation at Brussels Airport on Wednesday morning.
Federal police alerted the airport to a “potential threat” before the 09:25 departure. The aircraft was moved to a secure area, and all passengers and crew were safely evacuated.
Police are currently searching the plane, though the threat has not been confirmed. Airport operations remain unaffected.
Both the outbound flight to Berlin and the return flight to Brussels have been cancelled.
