JetBlue Airbus A321neo Aborts Flight To New York Amid Technical Issues

  • A JetBlue Airbus A321neo had to turn back to Dublin due to a technical issue.
  • The aircraft is scheduled to leave the Irish capital a day after the incident.
  • Throughout the past few years, JetBlue has greatly expanded its market share in the transatlantic market.

A JetBlue Airbus A321neo was forced to turn back to Dublin, Ireland, due to problems with one of the aircraft’s systems. The same narrowbody jet is scheduled to leave the Irish capital a day after the mid-air return, operating the flight to New York using a special flight code.

Turning back to Dublin

According to Flightradar24 records, the Airbus A321neo, registered as N4048J, departed Dublin Airport (DUB) at 10:53 (UTC +1) and began flying over Ireland before starting its crossing across the Atlantic Ocean. However, after it leveled off at an altitude of around 34,000 feet (10,363 meters) at about 11:15, the aircraft began turning back to DUB.

While the aircraft never squawked 7700, the general code for an onboard emergency on an aircraft, it did begin descending into DUB, landing at the Irish capital at 12:45, and proceeded to taxi to the gate without any subsequent issues.

Technical problems

The aircraft was scheduled to land at New York John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) at 13:22 (UTC -4), with the A321neo operating JetBlue flight B6 842. Nevertheless, while the aircraft stayed on the ground on April 10, Flightradar24 data showed that it was scheduled to leave DUB at 12:25 on April 11. The Airbus aircraft would fly to JFK using the special flight code B6 8362.

Another JetBlue Airbus A321neo, registered as N2157J, departed DUB on April 11 on the regularly scheduled flight B6 842. The aircraft landed in Ireland after it had operated flight B6 353 between Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) and DUB the day prior.

However, the nature of the mid-flight turnback was not immediately clear, with some reports indicating that it was a technical issue onboard the A321neo, registered as N4048J. Airbus delivered the aircraft to JetBlue in June 2021, according to ch-aviation data.

The site’s records also showed that since delivery, it had accumulated 9,597 flight hours (FH) and 1,408 flight cycles (FC) as of January 31, 2024. Ch-aviation estimated that the airframe accumulated another 321 FH and 47 FC in February, adding another 343 FH and 50 FC in March. The aircraft is equipped with two Pratt & Whitney PW1100G engines.

Transatlantic Expansion: JetBlue Adds Flights To Edinburgh & Dublin

Increasing presence over the atlantic.

Since inaugurating its first flights over the Atlantic Ocean in August 2021, JetBlue has continuously expanded its presence on the market between the United States and Europe, including the British Isles. Data from the aviation analytics company Cirium showed that in 2021, the airline only offered flights to London Heathrow Airport (LHR) and, from October 2021, to London Gatwick Airport (LGW).

In 2022, it added more flights to both airports, while the following year, it expanded to flying to Amsterdam Schiphol Airport (AMS) and Paris Charles De Gaulle International Airport (CDG). JetBlue’s transatlantic schedule in 2024 also includes DUB and Edinburgh Airport (EDI). In total, the airline will operate 77 one-way weekly flights from the US to Europe in April, expanding to 91 weekly flights in July.

Only 40 LNER intercity rail services to run on Saturday as train drivers strike

Almost three in four services between London, Edinburgh and York will be cut in Aslef members’ stoppage

A train drivers’ strike will lead to almost three in four services being cut on Saturday on LNER, which operates intercity trains between London, York and Edinburgh .

Members of the Aslef union will take industrial action for 24 hours on 20 April – and also ban overtime during the weekend – in a dispute over terms and conditions, separate to the wider pay row that has led to strikes at all national rail operators across England.

LNER expects to run about 40 services on the east coast mainline on Saturday, just over a quarter of its normal schedule.

Mick Whelan, the general secretary of Aslef, said: “Train drivers are fed up with the bad faith shown by this company … and we are not prepared to put up with being bullied and pushed about by a company that thinks it can break agreements whenever it feels like it.”

While the drivers’ action is not directly related to the wider rail pay disputes, which led to the biggest series of strikes in a generation, more disruption could come after the RMT union rejected a pay rise from Network Rail . The state-owned company, which runs the track and infrastructure, has offered a 3.5% pay rise to its employees, including signallers and maintenance workers.

The RMT said it had rejected the offer, maintaining that it fell below the standard benchmark for inflation used in rail pay negotiations – the November retail prices index figure – which was 5.3%.

The union’s general secretary, Mick Lynch, said: “Network Rail is once again making an offer that represents a cut in living standards as pay is not keeping up with the rising costs of rent, mortgages, energy, food and other essentials. As a result, RMT is calling for urgent fresh negotiations and a much-improved offer for this year.”

A Network Rail spokesperson said it had put forward a 3.5% unconditional offer with other benefits that was “fair and represents a significant increase given current and forecast rates of inflation … We expect negotiations to continue.”

It is understood that even though Network Rail has more control of its budget than train operating companies – which have not been able to offer drivers more money – the organisation is still under pressure to keep pay rises down in line with the wider public sector.

after newsletter promotion

The RMT has, however, highlighted the 5.5% award given to MPs last month. The union’s members at Network Rail settled their strike action last year for a two-year deal worth 9%, below inflation.
