BREAKING NEWS - U.S. Airways flight diverts to Tri-Cities after bomb threat
Published 08/28/2006 By HANK HAYES

A U.S. Airways flight diverted to Tri-Cities Regional Airport just before noon was being detained on the airport's new southside taxiway due to a bomb threat, a TCRA official said Monday afternoon.

U.S. Airways Express flight 3441, operated by Republic Airways, was on its way from Philadelphia to Houston when it was forced to land at TCRA.

The Embraer 170 aircraft departed Philadelphia at 10:10 a.m. and was scheduled to land in Houston at 12:40 p.m.

There were 55 people aboard, including the crew.

"There is a bomb threat on an aircraft," said Melissa Thomas, TCRA's director of marketing and air service development. "We were notified through air traffic control, but we don’t know yet how they were notified."
