The FAA confirms Frontier Airlines Flight F94708 operated by an Airbus A320-251N aircraft (registration N363FR), has landed safely at Washington Dulles International (IAD) around 2:35 p.m., after crew reported a possible security incident.

“The aircraft and all passenger baggage has been cleared,” Frontier said in an updated statement. “Passengers have been reunited with their bags and the aircraft has been returned to operation.”
