JetBlue Plane Crashes Into Parked Plane At JFK

A JetBlue airplane that was supposed to fly to Puerto Rico bumped into another plane at JFK International Airport on Tuesday.

Per a nearby onlooker, the JetBlue aircraft was being pushed by a pushback truck when it was pushed back too far and accidentally hit another JetBlue airplane.

No injuries occurred and the accident is currently being investigated.

The tarmac accident occurred just days after a Delta Boeing 737 and an American Airlines Boeing 777 almost crashed into each other at JFK.

JFK needs to get its act together quickly before hundreds of lives are lost.

The New York Post had more details to add:

A JetBlue plane bound for Puerto Rico struck the tail of another company jetliner in the gate area at JFK Airport on Wednesday morning – just days after two planes almost collided on a runway.

The plane “came into light contact with a parked unoccupied aircraft during pushback,” JetBlue spokesman Derek Dombrowski told The Post in an email.

“Flight 1603 returned to the gate, no injuries were reported, and the flight has been assigned to another aircraft. Safety is JetBlue’s first priority, and both aircraft involved will be taken out of service for inspection and the incident will be investigated,” he added.

The Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement that “Flight 1603 struck the tail of a parked JetBlue aircraft while pushing back from the gate around 7 a.m. The flight was going to Luis Muñoz Marin International Airport in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Both aircraft were Airbus 320s.”

The Daily Mail had more details to add:

In another close call at JFK, a JetBlue flight bound for Puerto Rico bumped into an empty plane on the tarmac at the New York airport around 7am Wednesday morning.

The incident comes just days after hundreds of lives were nearly lost at the airport when a Delta Boeing 737 and an American Airlines Boeing 777 narrowly avoided colliding during the Delta plane’s takeoff.

That incident remains under investigation by numerous federal agencies.

According to a passenger on board the JetBlue flight during Wednesday’s incident, the plane was being pushed from the gate by a pushback truck and preparing to taxi before takeoff.

During the pushback, the AirBus A320 hit another parked JetBlue AirBus A320.

Following the incident, the plane returned to the gate and passengers were forced to disembark. There were no reported injuries. Both aircraft were put out of service, the airline said.

In another incident a JetBlue airplane was caught dumping fuel on the tarmac:
