NEW YORK (AP) — A terminal at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport was briefly evacuated Wednesday because of an escalator fire, officials said.
The fire at JFK’s Terminal 8 was reported at around 7 a.m., Fire Department of New York officials said. No injuries were reported.
A spokesperson for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey said terminal operations had resumed by 8:15 a.m. and the cause of the fire was under investigation.
A video posted on X by a passenger from inside a stalled plane showed fire trucks swarming on the tarmac.
Airlines including American Airlines, British Airways, Cathay Pacific and Qantas fly out of Terminal 8.
