Several passengers were injured after a JetBlue Airbus, en route from Mexico to New Jersey, was forced to make an emergency landing in Tampa, Florida, USA. The Airbus 320 departed from Cancún International Airport (Mexico) to Newark Liberty International Airport and began to lose altitude. Consequently, it had to divert to Florida, where it landed shortly before 2:30 PM local time (6:30 GMT). JetBlue reported that the aircraft experienced a loss of altitude and that 'medical personnel met the passengers and crew, and those who needed additional care were transported to a local hospital,' though it did not specify the number of affected passengers. The airline also added that the aircraft has been taken out of service for inspection and that it will conduct an investigation to determine what happened. According to preliminary reports, the issue involved one of the aircraft's flight control systems, which are essential for managing the stability and direction of the plane. The Airbus was diverted to Florida as a precautionary measure for passenger safety. The crew notified emergency services that they were on alert upon landing.
