Two Delta Air Lines planes were searched Monday at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport following a bomb threat, ABC News reports.
"Earlier this evening, another airline received a threat regarding Delta Flight 468. Delta currently operates two aircraft under that specific flight number – San Francisco to New York-JFK, which is currently on the ground at New York-JFK, and New York-JFK to Tel Aviv, currently in the boarding process," the airline said in a statement.
All 171 passengers were evacuated from the San Francisco-New York plane, a Boeing 757, according to New York's WABC-TV. The flight to Tel Aviv, a Boeing 777 carrying 215 passengers, was not evacuated.
Authorities said no bomb was found in the search, which reportedly took about three hours.
