BREAKING NEWS Ryanair plane 'bomb threat': Jet 'taxis 500 metres from Brussels airport terminal and flights are suspended following alert'
Operations at Belgium's second largest airport were suspended on Tuesday due to a bomb alert on a Ryanair plane, the company running the airport said.
Shortly before 11.00am local time (9.00am GMT) 'a bomb threat was triggered' on board an aircraft that landed at Charleroi Airport, said a spokeswoman for its operator.
'A security perimeter was established around the aircraft, requiring the closure of the runway and the suspension of operations,' the spokeswoman told AFP.
