DUBE CITY, ARMANA--All flights have been grounded at Dube International Airport in southern Armana after a bomb threat was phoned into airline officials.

A spokesman for the German airline Lufthansa told the NPF a threat was phoned into airline officials at the airport. The spokesman would not give any details as to the threat or possible targets.

An airport spokeswoman told the GBC later that all flights have been temporarily grounded at the airport until the airport's bomb squad and emergency response team (ERT) assess the situation.

"All flights arriving and departing Dube International Airport have been temporarily suspended as a result of a bomb threat," spokeswoman Sheila Stivers said.

Stivers assured the media that all passengers and staff inside the airport are safe.

"The airport staff is committed to keeping all passengers and staff completely safe, and no one is in immediate danger at this time," she said.

Flights are being detoured to Maine City and Mavocke, according to the National Aviation Authority (NAA).

Flights should resume in about three hours, airport officials estimate.
