Frontier passenger made 'bomb threat' after landing, airline says

A false bomb threat was made on a Frontier Airlines flight shortly after landing at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport on Sunday, March 29, the Denver-based airline said.

Frontier flight 2539 departed John Glenn Columbus International Airport at 2:38 p.m. and landed at the Atlanta airport at 5:09 p.m., according to FlightAware. When the aircraft was taxiing to its assigned gate, a passenger made a "verbal bomb threat," a Frontier spokesperson told USA TODAY.

"As a matter of precaution and in coordination with local authorities, the aircraft parked at a remote location while law enforcement responded," the airline added.

The threat was deemed non-credible, according to Frontier. Passengers were deplaned via air stairs and bused to the terminal.
