Two fighter jets and refueling aircraft responded to reports of bomb threats aboard three commercial aircraft landing in Calgary on Sept. 15, the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) says.

“Out of an abundance of caution, North American Aerospace Defense Command CF-18 aircraft and F-15 fighter aircraft, as well as supporting aerial refueling aircraft, responded to three commercial passenger aircraft flying from Germany to Calgary International Airport,” a NORAD spokesperson told The Epoch Times on Sept. 17.
