JetBlue flight diverts to Boston over hydraulic issue

On March 18, 2025, a JetBlue Airways flight was forced to make an emergency landing at Boston Logan Airport after experiencing a potential hydraulic issue. The flight was on its way to Denver International Airport when it turned back shortly after takeoff. The pilots were concerned that the hydraulic problem might worsen during the flight. Hydraulic systems are crucial for controlling important aircraft functions, including landing gear. JetBlue described the situation as a "possible hydraulic issue" related to the landing gear. Passengers felt relieved when the plane landed safely back at Logan Airport. Many reported feeling calm during the situation, but some admitted the experience was nerve-racking. Fortunately, the crew followed all safety protocols, which reassured the passengers. After landing, firefighters were on standby at the airport as a precaution. The aircraft involved was an Airbus A220-300 model, which JetBlue had introduced to its fleet about a year ago. Most passengers were quickly rebooked to new flights to Denver that same afternoon. Recent news has also highlighted issues with Airbus A220 airframes due to potential corrosion. However, JetBlue insists that this incident is unrelated to the corrosion concerns affecting some aircraft in their fleet.
