There are bomb threats on two flights that would soon land at Zaventem airport. That is confirmed by Belgocontrol. The medical emergency is in force. Soon more.

(edited: there is no proof that this is one of the flights involved - but the diversion looks more then just coincidence)

No Jetair aircraft involved according to Andre Berger, flight operations director of JAF.

A lot of aircraft are still inbound to BRU, which makes me believe that the planes involved will be diverted to other airports.

Highest alarm is no longer in place according to some sources, rapid reaction team of the Red Cross no longer in alarm.

According to interior minister Jan Jambon, there is no reason to panic.
