The pilot of the Airbus A321, which had departed from Las Vegas, reported the strike at approximately 3,000 feet ​while on final approach, the FAA said.

The incident happened around ​7:15am EDT, according to the US regulator.

“The flight landed ⁠without incident, customers deplaned normally, and the plane was removed from service ​for a post-flight inspection, which found no damage or evidence of a collision,” ​the airline said.

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which manages John F. Kennedy International Airport, was not immediately available for comment.

Monday’s incident comes days after a United ​Airlines flight encountered a drone during its descent into Newark Liberty International ​Airport — another New York City-area airport — on Friday, according to media reports.

The Port Authority said ‌by ⁠email in late May that it was preparing for increased demand “across our facilities,” with the New York-New Jersey region hosting matches for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, including the final game on July 19.

The US Federal Bureau of ​Investigation said on ​the social media ⁠site X on Monday that it and federal partners had seized over 500 drones from restricted airspace across all ​11 US host cities since the start of the soccer ​tournament ⁠this month.

Drones should not fly near airports, according to an FAA advisory, which warns that it would be difficult for pilots to see and avoid drones while ⁠flying.

The ​FAA said it receives more than 100 drone-sighting ​reports near airports monthly.

It warned that unauthorised drone operators could face fines or jail time.
