At least two flights have been forced to make emergency landings at JKF after anonymous threats warning that they were at risk from a ‘chemical weapons’ attack.
An Air France plane was intercepted and safely escorted to Kennedy airport in New York City at 10:17 a.m. on Monday and since then a Saudi Airlines flight has also landed following threats of a bomb onboard.
Authorities have also received warnings concerning another possible ‘chemical weapons’ threat on an incoming American Airlines flight.

It appears that 5 flights had issues with these warnings today.
