Two Air France flights heading to Paris from the United Staes were diverted as a precaution after they received anonymous threats after takeoff. Both planes landed safely and without incident after receiving the threats at nearly the same time. In a statement, Air France said that a flight from Los Angeles International Airport to Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris on Tuesday night was diverted. The second flight took off from Dulles International Airport and was diverted to Halifax on Canada’s East Coast. Salt Lake Airport officials said that the diverted flight received the threat via phone, though there is no information available on the threat received by the other flight.
