Authorities cleared both Air France flights bound for Paris from the U.S. that were diverted because of anonymous threats phoned in after they had taken off.
Air France Flight 65 from Los Angeles International Airport to Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris was diverted to Salt Lake City International Airport Tuesday night, Air France said in a statement.
At about the same time a second flight, Air France 55, took off from Dulles International Airport outside Washington and was diverted to Halifax on Canada's East Coast, officials said.
Passengers got off both planes safely and were taken to terminals.
Air France said in a statement that the flight in Salt Lake City took off for Paris at 12:29 a.m. Wednesday.
The flight in Canada was postponed until Wednesday evening and passengers were accommodated in Halifax.
