Jet Blue Flight 1006, inbound to Seattle from Long Beach,
California, and SkyWest Flight 4741, were both cleared of
passengers after landing and moved away from terminals,
spokesman Peter McGraw said.
McGraw said both planes had been cleared after a search and were
expected to taxi back to the gates. He declined to elaborate on
the security concern, saying it was still under investigation.
A Federal Aviation Administration spokesman referred calls
regarding the evacuations to the airport.
Meanwhile, a Delta Airlines flight from Los Angeles to Orlando
was diverted to Dallas, also over a security concern, an airline
spokesman said, but was allowed to resume its journey after
getting an all-clear.
