MacArthur Airport Returning to Normal After Threat
RONKONKOMA, NY (AP) -- At least four outgoing flights have been delayed at New York's MacArthur Airport after a bomb threat was called into a Southwest Airlines office in Houston.
Officials with the town of Islip, which operates the Long Island airport, and a Southwest spokeswoman said the threat was received about Flight 2622 from Long Island to Chicago. It was called into Southwest's reservations office in Houston shortly before the scheduled takeoff at 7 a.m. Friday.
Bomb squad personnel swept the terminal and airplane, but nothing was found. Employees were returning to the terminal, and passengers were expected to begin the screening process for their flights.
