Supplemental Info:
ATC communications (from DFW Approach/Love Tower) indicate the tower is closing the airport. Key language includes instructions to the effect of: “Attention all aircraft inbound to Love Tower is closing the airport. I believe there was a bomb threat or something like that, so stand by.”
Approach clearances for inbound Southwest flights (e.g., SWA3824 and others) were canceled, with aircraft held at altitudes or diverted while the situation is assessed. Local, state, and federal law enforcement are reportedly responding, and inbound traffic is being diverted to nearby airports.
This is a breaking, developing situation as of early evening of November 14 local time in Dallas. No official confirmation of a device or full details has appeared yet from the airport.
Additional alerts will be issued as events warrant.
