Air France Flight 65 from Los Angeles to Paris was diverted because of a "security issue," Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Allen Kenitzer said. The flight landed safely in Salt Lake City without incident, he said, and passengers were being taken off the plane.
A second Air France, Flight 55, jet traveling from Washington D.C.'s Dulles International Airport to Paris was diverted to Halifax, Nova Scotia after a threat was also made against the flight.
According to Air France, the threats were both made anonymously by phone after take-off. Both planes landed safely, as a precaution, the airline said.
Local authorities were inspecting the aircraft, passengers, and luggage.
