The New York Fire Department (FDNY) sends more than 140 personnel to John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) after a Delta flight reports flat tires while approaching to land. Multiple outlets say the incident centers on Delta Flight 1966, which is traveling from San Juan to JFK. The reports describe concerns related to landing gear or tires during the final approach, prompting a large emergency response at the airport.
According to the airline, the situation is handled as a precaution. One report adds that the aircraft is an Airbus A321neo. It also states the flight carries 170 passengers, along with two pilots and four flight attendants.
The FDNY deployment indicates an active response to potential landing-related hazards, while Delta’s characterization suggests the alert does not involve a confirmed emergency beyond the reported tire condition. The available information focuses on the response scale, the flight details, and Delta’s statement that the measures taken are precautionary.
