The New York City Fire Department (FDNY) deployed 141 personnel and 46 units to John F. Kennedy International Airport on Tuesday in response to a Delta Air Lines flight reporting landing gear issues. Delta Flight 1966, an Airbus A321neo arriving from San Juan, was carrying 170 passengers, two pilots, and four flight attendants. At 4:45 p.m. local time, authorities received a report of the aircraft having two flat front tires. The FDNY responded with a second alarm to prepare for a potential emergency. Delta later clarified that there was only some damage to one tire, which did not blow but experienced tread wear. The situation was deemed precautionary, and after maintenance assessment, the aircraft was cleared to taxi to the gate under its own power. The flight arrived safely at the gate with no injuries reported, and the scene was declared under control by 5:06 p.m.
