Bomb threat halts flights at Philadelphia airport, US aviation authority says

Flights to the Philadelphia International Airport were grounded on Friday due to a bomb threat, the US Federal Aviation Administration said.

The FAA’s advisory did not provide further details about the bomb threat.

The airport did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

There have been reports of bomb threats at other U.S. airports earlier this month that were cleared without incident.

Operations at the Reagan Washington National Airport faced a brief halt in early November due to a bomb threat against a United Airlines plane. The FBI said at the time it had responded to the report and found nothing hazardous.

On the same day, a Delta flight from LaGuardia International Airport was evacuated before takeoff after reports of a bomb threat.
