**Passenger Arrested After Alleged Bomb Threat on Alaska Airlines Flight at SeaTac**
SEATAC, Wash. – An Alaska Airlines flight at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SeaTac) was delayed Saturday afternoon after a passenger allegedly made a bomb threat, leading to the individual’s arrest and a temporary ground stop.
The incident occurred on a Horizon Air-operated flight bound for Walla Walla as it was taxiing to the runway. According to Alaska Airlines, the passenger made “a direct threat to the safety of the aircraft” while speaking to a flight attendant. The Port of Seattle Police stated the passenger made a “flippant remark regarding a bomb”.
Following protocol, the flight crew moved the plane to a remote area, and law enforcement was notified. Two runways were temporarily closed while Port of Seattle Police responded, causing a ground stop for incoming flights.
All passengers were deplaned and rescreened, along with the aircraft and all baggage, by K9 units. Authorities confirmed that no suspicious items were found.
The incident resulted in at least six flight cancellations and two diversions.
The FBI and Port of Seattle Police are currently investigating the incident and will work with prosecutors to determine appropriate charges.
