JetBlue Airways reports that Flight 948 struck a drone near the cockpit at about 3,000 feet while on final approach to John F. Kennedy International Airport and the Federal Aviation Administration opens an investigation. The Airbus A321 lands safely, passengers exit without injury and JetBlue Airways removes the aircraft from service after a post-flight inspection finds no visible damage or physical evidence of a strike. The episode follows recent close calls, including a near-collision involving a United Airlines jet near Newark and a separate approach warning on a Delta Air Lines flight, reinforcing that regulators get more than 100 drone reports near US airports each month. Investigators are collecting cockpit recordings, radar tracks and witness accounts while the airline and the Federal Aviation Administration assess whether the encounter represents one of the first confirmed drone collisions with a US passenger airliner.
