Bomb alerts have been reported on two passenger jets due to arrive at Brussels airport, according to the Belgian broadcaster VRT.

The alerts were reportedly radioed in from the aircraft to air traffic control.

One of the planes is reportedly an SAS Airlines flight from Oslo, Norway.

Belgian journalist Bart Raes, who was on one of the flights, tweeted to say the pilot had entered the cabin 20 minutes before landing, saying there may be a bomb on the plane.

Sounds like a hoax. Two at once. Too difficult to arrange is my guess.

4. Especilly an SAS plane out of Oslo

A Belgian plane out of Brussels would be a different story, although after the airport bombing in March, I wouldn't bet on the bad guys being able to smuggle a wasabi pea aboard a plane there for the next few months at least.
