ATLANTA, Ga. (WTVF) — A Southwest Airlines flight traveling from Nashville to Fort Lauderdale was diverted to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport Friday night after a reported security threat.
Southwest Flight 2094 landed in Atlanta around 9:06 p.m. on March 6. A passenger was removed from the plane by police after the threat was reported.
The FBI and the Atlanta Police Department investigated and interviewed the person involved. Authorities determined there was no credible threat, and no charges will be filed.
In a statement, a Southwest spokesperson said the plane landed safely after diverting to respond to a possible security matter.
“We appreciate the professionalism of our Flight Crew and sincerely apologize to our Customers for the significant delay,” the spokesperson said. “Nothing is more important to Southwest than the safety of its Customers and Employees.”
