A flight from Las Vegas to Charlotte was delayed Thursday due to a threat officials said was “non-credible.”

“Out of an abundance of caution, and at the request of the pilot, Clark County Department of Aviation conducted a security check of the aircraft,” the statement read. “At 3:27 p.m., K-9 sweeps of baggage, cargo and all cargo holds were completed. Nothing suspicious was discovered. The passengers have been re-screened by TSA, and the airline hopes to have our passengers on their way soon.”
