By RACHEL BOWMAN, US SENIOR NEWS REPORTER Published: 18:07, 29 June 2026 | Updated: 18:29, 29 June 2026 A JetBlue Airways pilot struck a drone while landing at John F Kennedy International Airport this morning. The plane, which department from Las Vegas, collided with the drone around 7.15am at about 3,000 feet as the aircraft was preparing to land at the New York City airport, according to the FAA. 'We collided with a drone back there in the turn as we were coming to ASALT, just wanted to pass to you,' the pilot said in air traffic controller audio obtained by WABC. The drone struck the plane right about the cockpit, but the pilot said they did not need help and could continue with the landing. A post-flight inspection did not reveal any damage to the aircraft, the FAA said, adding that it will investigate the matter. The Daily Mail contacted JetBlue for comment. It comes almost two months after a regional Delta Air Lines flight reported a small plane getting too close to the aircraft as it approach the busy NYC airport. The air traffic controller warned the Delta pilot, who was flying the Endeavor Air jet, of a small person plane that was about 500 feet above them, according to WABC.
