All flights into and out of Ronald Reagan National Airport, one of the nation’s busiest airports, were halted for a time Tuesday due to a reported bomb threat, federal authorities announced.

The threat was directed toward a United Airlines flight traveling from Houston to the Washington-area airport, U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said on X.
