Functional Brands closes $8 million private placement and completes Nasdaq listing
Investing.com -- The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) resumed operations at Reagan Washington National Airport on Tuesday after a brief suspension due to a bomb threat against a United Airlines plane.
The FAA had issued a ground stop earlier in the day because of what it described as a "reported security issue." Passengers were evacuated from the aircraft, which was then moved away from the terminal to allow authorities to conduct an investigation.
Officials reportedly took precautionary measures to check the aircraft after receiving the bomb threat.
Flight tracking website FlightRadar24 indicated that the incident involved an unconfirmed threat against a United flight that had arrived from Houston.
The security concern has contributed to significant travel disruptions, with more than 190 flights already experiencing delays at Reagan Airport, according to flight tracking service FlightAware.
