Dallas Love Field Airport was closed on Saturday evening, November 14, due to a potential bomb threat, Air Traffic Control showed. AZ Intel shared on X that ATC audio said, "All aircraft inbound to Love tower is closing the airport. I believe there was a bomb threat."

This comes just a day after the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) grounded all flights across the country due to a communications issue.

The website did not cite a reason for the airport's closure.

FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford said on Saturday that the US air travel schedule is expected to be back to normal by the end of Sunday, November 15, per CBS News.

According to federal officials, the outage was connected to problems with aging air traffic control technology, including switches and routers that became overloaded with data and thus created inconsistencies in radar and communications systems.

The current problem was similar to a regional air traffic control communication outage in September. At the time, the issue snarled hundreds of flights across the Northeast, with the disruption being linked to a construction crew cutting a fiber optic line.
