A JetBlue airline flight from New York to San Juan (Puerto Rico) collided with another aircraft in the area of the boarding gate of the John F. Kennedy International Airport during the morning of this Wednesday, being the second accident in recent days at the air terminal.
The aircraft would have hit the tail of another plane from the same company that was parked and empty at the airport, around 7:00 in the morning (local time), ruling out injured people in the first instance. Passengers were affected by the delay.

“JetBlue Flight 1603 struck the tail of a parked JetBlue plane while backing out of the gate around 7 am at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York. The flight was headed to Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport in San Juan, Puerto Rico Both aircraft were Airbus 320s. No injuries were reported, and the FAA will investigate,” the FAA said in a statement.
This is the second incident in a week that the Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) investigates at JFK airport after last Friday two planes preparing for takeoff came close to colliding when an American Airlines plane crossed the runway just as another Delta was accelerating for takeoff.
That Delta flight, with 145 passengers on board, was destined for Santo Domingo (Dominican Republic) and was delayed until the next day, while the American Airlines flight, which was heading to London, took off that same night and arrived safely in the British capital.
