ATLANTA — Police were searching two planes at Atlanta’s main airport Saturday after authorities received what they described as credible bomb threats.
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport spokesman Reese McCranie said the threats targeted a Delta flight and a Southwest flight that landed safely Saturday.
McCranie said he did not have additional details about the nature of the threats, though he described them as “credible.”
A bomb squad and dog unit from the Atlanta Police Department were going to search both aircraft.
Last Monday, two Delta Air Lines flights arriving at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport, one continuing to and one arriving from Tel Aviv, were evacuated following a bomb threat.
