Foreign: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said it has launched an investigation after a JetBlue plane reportedly hit a drone while approaching New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport on Monday.
According to Reuters, published on June 30, 2026, the pilot of the Airbus A321 (AIR.PA) departing from Las Vegas reported the collision at an altitude of about 3,000 feet while on final approach, according to the FAA. The incident occurred at around 7:15 a.m. The airline said, “The aircraft landed without incident, customers disembarked normally, and the aircraft was removed from service for a post-flight inspection, which found no damage or evidence of a collision.” The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which operates John F. Kennedy International Airport, was not immediately available for comment.
