09:10 AM EDT, 05/13/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Ryanair ( RYAOF ) said Tuesday it was informed of a security threat on a flight from Faro, Portugal to Brussels South Charleroi airport in Belgium.

Portugal's official LUSA news agency described a fake bomb threat on board the plane.

The Brussels airport reported on its Facebook page that shortly before 11:00 a.m. local time, a "bomb threat" was triggered on board a plane that landed.

"A security perimeter was established around the aircraft, which required the closure of the runway and the suspension of operations," the airport said in the statement.

Ryanair ( RYAOF ) said the aircraft landed "normally at Charleroi as planned" and passengers disembarked from the aircraft, which was being prepared to return to service.

As of 1:45 p.m. local time, the airport said the runway has been reopened and operations have resumed, although delays were possible throughout the afternoon.
