Dallas Love Field Airport closed due to potential bomb threat day after FAA grounded flights across country
Air Traffic Control audio said, "All aircraft inbound to Love tower is closing the airport. I believe there was a bomb threat."
On Saturday evening, Dallas Love Field Airport was abruptly shut down following a potential bomb threat, according to Air Traffic Control. ATC audio indicated the closure explicitly: "All aircraft inbound to Love tower is closing the airport. I believe there was a bomb threat." However, no further details have been shared about the threat.
This incident occurred just 24 hours after the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) grounded all flights nationwide due to a communications problem. The FAA's National Airspace System Status website confirmed Love Field's closure as of 9:13 pm Central Standard Time, though it did not specify the reason for the airport's shutdown.
