Air France Flight 22, from Charles De Gaulle Airport, was escorted by fighter jets to JFK airport in New York City after an anonymous threat was made against the flight, ABC News reported on Monday.
The Maryland State Police Fusion Center received an anonymous call of a "chemical weapons threat" aboard Air France Flight 22, which was en route from Paris and was expected to land at JFK later Monday morning.
US authorities scrambled fighter jets because Air France did not immediately respond to US government requests for information.
The plane will land in a secure area at Kennedy Airport and will be searched.
This is not believed to be a credible threat.
