Dallas Love Field Briefly Shut Down Due to 'Threat'
A brief aircraft alert prompted a police and fire response, and the airport said normal operations resumed after no threat was found.
- Dallas Love Field reopened Saturday night after an "aircraft alert" prompted Dallas Police Department and Dallas Fire-Rescue to respond to a security issue involving a commercial aircraft. No threat was found and normal operations resumed.
- Authorities arrived at 8:31 p.m. to investigate a reported threat, determining it unfounded within minutes. The alert was canceled at 8:34 p.m., allowing the airport to resume operations quickly.
- Nationwide, more than 6,500 flights were canceled Saturday according to Flight Aware. At Dallas Love Field, 26 departing flights and an additional 46 arriving flights were also canceled.
- The incident followed Friday's nationwide Federal Aviation Administration ground stop that disrupted thousands of passengers. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy cautioned that full recovery would require time as airlines repositioned aircraft and crews.
- FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford expects the nation's flight schedule to return to normal by day's end Sunday. Federal officials traced the disruption to aging air traffic control equipment that became overwhelmed by data, causing radar and communications inconsistencies.
