A Russian airliner was evacuated and searched at John F. Kennedy Airport on Sunday following reports of a possible bomb threat, authorities said.

Officers evacuated Aeroflot Flight 102 out of Moscow immediately after it landed in New York at around 3:46 p.m., a rep for the Port Authority said.

Cops cleared the jet at 10:03 p.m., the rep said. No bombs were found.

Airport officials closed one runway during the investigation, which also delayed one outgoing flight to Moscow, NBC New York reported.

Airport operations were not otherwise impacted, the Port Authority said.
