A threat posted to Twitter prompted the jets to be scrambled for the planes arriving from Portland and Milwaukee, said Preston Schlachter from the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD).
A Twitter user made threats earlier in the afternoon regarding smuggling bombs aboard the aircrafts.
Schlachter described the escort as a "precautionary measure," and said the planes landed safely.
