JetBlue

JetBlue, a commercial airline, is currently newsworthy due to a near mid-air collision incident in late 2025. JetBlue Flight 1112, en route from Curacao to New York City's JFK airport, had to halt its ascent to avoid a US Air Force refueling tanker. The JetBlue pilot reported the military plane crossed directly into their flight path, narrowly averting a collision. This incident occurred in the context of heightened tensions and increased military activity in the region, as the FAA has issued warnings to airlines to exercise caution over Mexico, Central America, Ecuador, and Colombia due to ongoing military operations. The near-miss highlights potential risks associated with increased military presence and the importance of clear communication and coordination between civilian and military aircraft in shared airspace.
