A passenger’s bomb remark aboard Alaska Airlines Flight 2123 prompted a security lockdown at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport on 14 June 2025. The aircraft, carrying 68 passengers and four crew on a scheduled trip to Walla Walla, was directed to a remote runway at 12:15 p.m. while Port of Seattle Police and the FBI responded. Two runways were closed, several flights were diverted or canceled, and all passengers were re-screened; no explosive device was found. The suspect was taken into custody, and the last closed runway reopened by 3:15 p.m. Authorities are reviewing potential charges. Exactly a month later, Vancouver International Airport halted arrivals for 39 minutes on 15 July 2025 when a stolen Cessna 172 from the Victoria Flying Club entered its airspace. Air traffic control reported the pilot claimed the aircraft was hijacked, leading the Richmond RCMP to coordinate with airport officials. The plane landed safely at 1:45 p.m., the lone occupant was arrested without incident, and nine inbound commercial flights were diverted before normal operations resumed.
