CHARLOTTE, NC. (THECOUNT) — Emergency crews are on scene of a “security investigation” on board a Jetblue plane at Charlotte Douglas Airport.
In a statement airport officials said, “There is an investigation of a security incident on board an aircraft. More information to come.”
“JetBlue flight 218 scheduled to depart from Charlotte to New York this morning has been delayed for additional security screenings out of an abundance of caution. Local law enforcement is on site and we are working to get customers on their way to New York as soon as possible.”
A passenger from Rockingham, North Carolina David Lathan called the WSOCTV newsroom shortly after he exited the plane. He said their plane was taxiing to the runway when they had to stop.
Lathan said the pilot then told the passengers there had been a “bomb threat.”
