US EditionReagan Airport Flights Halted Due to United Airlines Bomb Threat
- On Tuesday, a temporary ground stop at Ronald Reagan National Airport halted departures after an unconfirmed bomb threat isolated a United Airlines flight from Houston; the runway reopened at 12:50 p.m.
- Controllers asked the aircraft to move to the runway edge after receiving an unconfirmed bomb threat, and the FAA said it was aware of a reported security issue at Reagan National Airport.
- Passengers from the affected United flight were offloaded using buses and mobile stair steps after about half an hour, while other airlines' flights were held, returned to gates, or diverted to Dulles Airport and Baltimore.
- Officials noted the disruption amid broader warnings from Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, as the FAA issued a ground stop at Ronald Reagan National Airport, marking the third such action in the past week.
- Live video showed police racing to the aircraft at Reagan's runways near the Potomac River, with WUSA News capturing police cars rushing as the flight was isolated to the eastern runways.
