Bomb threats were reported on two aeroplanes due to land shortly at Brussels airport in Zaventem, Belgian state broadcaster VRT reported on Wednesday.
Federal prosecutors are taking the threats seriously, VRT added.
VRT.com later added that the two planes have now landed safely in Brussels, the other in the southern French city of Toulouse, although the medical emergency is in force and has reached the airport.
Eric Van der Sypt, spokesman for the federal prosecutor was quoted by VRT that the threats have been taken seriously although he didn't reveal the full details or the exact extent of the threat.
Dutch journalist Bart Raes was quoted by ITV.com that he was on a flight from Oslo that received one of the bomb threats.
He said the plane had received the threat around 20 minutes before landing and that it has now landed safely and the passengers are being evacuated, the report added.
Brussels has been on high alert after a series of attacks in Belgium and across Europe in the past few months.
More details are awaited.
