JetBlue is under scrutiny after Flight B61058 experienced a catastrophic right engine failure shortly after takeoff from Aruba on January 18, 2026, though the crew successfully diverted the Airbus A321neo to Fort Lauderdale.
- The incident exposes the airline's vulnerability to the widespread Pratt & Whitney GTF engine defect.
- This specific engine issue has already led to the grounding of 835 aircraft globally.
- The event creates a negative operational overhang just ahead of the company’s Q4 2025 earnings call scheduled for January 27, 2026.
