The airport has been closed since the March 22 suicide bombings that killed 16 victims at the airport and another 16 in the Brussels subway.
Police spokesman Michael Jonniaux says Saturday that the new security measures will include spot checks of vehicles arriving at the airport, and new controls on people and baggage before they are allowed to enter the airport terminal.
He says both people and baggage will be scanned before they can go into the building. He also says travelers' IDs and travel documents will also be checked to make sure they match.
