COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.—The Colorado Springs Airport was evacuated for about 2 1/2 hours Monday after someone phoned in a bomb threat.
The airport reopened at about 4 p.m. after a search by officers and bomb-sniffing dogs turned up nothing, said John Leavitt, a spokesman for the city, which owns the airport.
Airport spokeswoman Kelly Jackson did not know how many people were evacuated but said it was several hundred.
At least four planes were diverted to other airports and other planes were held on the ramp at a safe distance from the terminal.
Jackson could not say how may flights were delayed or whether any were canceled.
