A spokesman for Kansas City International Airport said operations were back to normal after a bomb threat Thursday night.

Spokesman Joe McBride said all 134 passengers and crews members were safely removed from a plane after a bomb threat had been called in.

The Kansas City Fire Department inspected the plane with bomb-sniffing dogs and found nothing dangerous, McBride said.

According to Southwest Airlines spokeswoman Ashley Rogers, the threat was specific to Flight 46, headed to Chicago, set to depart at 9:40 p.m.

The phone call was received about 9:35 p.m McBride said.

The plane had come from Dallas after making several other stops during the day. It was unclear if any passengers had gotten off or boarded since the plane arrived in Kansas City.

The plane was isolated from the terminal before passengers began exiting the plane, McBride said.
