There has been suspicion of 'some suspicious circumstances', she says.
But the assessment is that there is 'no danger to passengers or the outside world at all', she tells the newspaper.
The airport is operating normally, and air traffic is not affected.
However, the police and EOD will be at the airport "for a little while longer", it was stated shortly before 10 a.m.

Ritzau writes that the police received a report about a suspicious incident concerning two planes that landed at the airport.
- Our assessment is that there is no danger, nor has there been any danger, to passengers or others moving around the airport, says the press office of Copenhagen Police to Ritzau.
This week, several planes around Europe had to land after possible threats, but it is unknown whether the case from Copenhagen Airport can be linked to these incidents.
This morning, a new possible threat against a plane in Europe has emerged.
This was stated by the office of French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu in a statement according to the Reuters news agency.
It concerns a plane en route from Dublin in Ireland to Rome in Italy, which has been diverted to the Evreux airbase in France after a bomb threat.
