The two planes, Southwest Airlines Flight 2492 and Delta Flight 1156, were searched by bomb and canine units after landing at the international airport.
Delta spokesman Morgan Durant told CNN, "It was a Portland, Oregon, to Atlanta, Georgia, flight. Delta is supporting the sweeping process carried out by authorities."
Southwest spokesman Dan Landson confirmed to CBS News that the planes had landed.
"Due a security situation, the aircraft operating Flight 2492 was taken to a remote area of the airport where customers and the aircraft are being rescreened," Landson said. "Our number one priority is the safety of our customers and people. We cannot comment on the nature of the security situation."
Neither Southwest nor Delta Airlines could immediately confirm to BuzzFeed News that the threats made by this user caused the planes to land in Atlanta.
