A flight from Warsaw to Brussels operated by LOT Polish Airlines landed safely in the Belgian capital this morning after a disturbing report had been received. Following assessment by the Federal Police, it was decided that no additional security measures were required. The aircraft landed at Brussels Airport without incident.
The disturbing report about the flight from the Polish capital, Warsaw, was received prior to its scheduled landing at Brussels Airport. As is standard procedure in such incidents, the Federal Police were immediately called in to carry out the necessary risk assessments.
“We were indeed informed of a suspicious message concerning a flight bound for Brussels Airport,” the airport’s press office confirmed. “In such cases, the Federal Police carry out the necessary analyses. Based on their investigation, no additional measures were required for this flight. The aircraft has since landed safely.”
Although the situation at Brussels Airport was quickly brought under control, the matter is not yet closed.
Belgian Federal Police say they are investigating whether there is a link to previous, similar incidents. The incidents appear to form part of a series of attempts to disrupt international flights.
