Reported bomb threat halts flights at Washington Reagan National Airport

(The Center Square) – Flights in and out of Washington Reagan National Airport were temporarily halted Tuesday due to a reported bomb threat on an incoming flight.

The app Flight Tracker showed multiple flights destined for Reagan being diverted to Dulles International Airport in Northern Virginia. However, shortly after 1 p.m., it appears flight departing the airport resumed.

Multiple reports indicate the plane involved is a United flight, which landed safely and has been relocated to the eastern part of the airport. Video shot by bystanders at the airport shows passengers deplaning the aircraft onto the tarmac.
