Largest Airport in Southern Utah Closed Over Ground Incident
The largest airport in southern Utah, The St. George Municipal Airport, was temporarily closed on Tuesday while authorities investigated a “ground incident” involving a SkyWest Airlines aircraft, an FBI spokeswoman said.
SkyWest said in a statement that incident occurred while the airport was closed overnight and that the plane involved was not in service. No further details have been provided.
“We are still gathering facts, but it is important to note there is no ongoing public safety issue, and the scene is under the control of law enforcement,” FBI spokeswoman Deborah Bertram said.
