Aircraft New York Today in New York, New York: A JetBlue Airbus A321 passenger jet flying overnight from Las Vegas reported striking a drone while approaching JFK International Airport on Monday. The pilot told an air traffic controller, "We collided with a drone back there in the turn," according to ATC.com. JetBlue said all passengers deplaned normally and the plane was removed from service for inspection; the airline later reported finding no damage or evidence of a collision.
