ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) -- A Delta Air Lines jet was searched after a bomb threat Friday morning at Hartsfield International Airport in Atlanta, Georgia. The search delayed the plane's departure for Boston, Massachusetts.

Delta spokesman Tom Donahue said it was a "security-related" incident aboard the aircraft and would not release further details, but a Hartsfield International Airport spokeswoman said it was a bomb scare.

Aviation sources said the threat was called in two hours before the plane was to depart.

Hartsfield police were checking the plane, which the Delta Web site said was a Boeing 767.

Flight 350 was scheduled to depart at 8:10 a.m., before authorities were alerted. No one had yet boarded the aircraft.
