A bomb threat forced the evacuation of a Spirit Airlines flight at Detroit Metropolitan Airport early Thursday morning, triggering a swift law enforcement response and delaying travel plans for passengers headed to Los Angeles.
“Law enforcement was requested to meet Spirit Airlines flight 2145 (DTW-LAX) prior to departure from Detroit (DTW) due to a potential security issue,” read the statement.
“The aircraft taxied to a remote location, and Guests were safely deplaned and transported back to the terminal. The Guests were rescreened, and the aircraft was inspected and cleared by law enforcement. The safety of our Guests and Team Members is our top priority, and the flight reboarded and departed to Los Angeles (LAX). Further questions should be directed to law enforcement.”
The source or nature of the bomb threat remains unclear, and authorities are continuing to investigate the incident.
