The Airbus 320 was diverted to Tampa International Airport around 2 p.m., the FAA said.

It is not immediately clear how many passengers or crew were hospitalized, or how severe their injuries were.

“Our team has taken the aircraft out of service for inspection, and we will conduct a full investigation to determine the cause,” JetBlue said in a statement.

“The safety of our customers and crewmembers is always our first priority, and we will work to support those involved,” the statement said.

The FAA will investigate the incident.
