JetBlue JFK Drone Strike: No Damage Fuels Debate
A JetBlue Airways passenger jet reported striking a drone while on final approach to John F. Kennedy International Airport. The pilot of Flight 948 communicated the collision with a drone at approximately 3,000 feet, and the aircraft subsequently landed safely. Although the plane underwent a post-flight inspection that found no damage, the FAA is investigating the incident, which could represent one of the first confirmed drone-aircraft collisions in the U.S. commercial airspace.
