UPDATE: TSA gives 'all clear' after threat led to Hawaiian Airlines plane evacuation

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — A Hawaiian Airlines passenger's bomb threat against a plane as it was preparing to take off triggered a heavy law enforcement response on the San Diego International Airport's tarmac Tuesday morning, according to the airline and the Port of San Diego Harbor Police Department.

Hawaiian Airlines says HA Flight 15 was headed to Honolulu from San Diego; Harbor PD says it received the call about the bomb threat at 8:46 a.m.

"During pushback from the gate, a guest was overheard making a threat to the safety of our aircraft," the spokesperson said. "As a precaution, the captain immediately taxied the Airbus A330 to a safe location on the airfield, where it was met with local and federal law enforcement and guests were safely deplaned."

Harbor PD's Maritime Tactical team, K-9 Team, Joint Terrorism Task Force, the San Diego Fire Department and the FBI all responded to the scene to search the aircraft and its contents.

A spokesperson for the airline told ABC 10News there were 283 passengers and 10 crew members on board the plane. They were evacuated from the aircraft and transported by bus to a safe area, according to Harbor PD.

Despite this heavy law enforcement response, airport spokesperson Nicole Hall told ABC 10News that all airport operations were normal, and there were no flight delays. At 12:14 p.m., the airport said on X that TSA gave the "all clear."

Harbor PD said nothing suspicious was found on the aircraft. An official with the FBI San Diego has also stated there is "no current threat to public safety." Harbor PD continues to investigate and will provide more information when it is available.

A little before 2:30 p.m., Harbor PD confirmed to ABC 10News that the passenger was arrested.
