Two people were found dead in the landing gear compartment of a JetBlue plane that landed Monday evening in Florida , the airline has said. The bodies, which have not yet been publicly identified, were discovered during a 'routine post-flight maintenance inspection' at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, JetBlue confirmed in a statement.
'At this time, the identities of the individuals and the circumstances surrounding how they accessed the aircraft remain under investigation,' the airline said. 'This is a heartbreaking situation, and we are committed to working closely with authorities to support their efforts to understand how this occurred.' The carrier said the aircraft most recently operated as Flight 1801 from New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport. The Airbus A320-232 landed at 11:03 pm on Monday, according to Flightradar24, an aircraft tracker. Broward County's Medical Examiner's Office are due to perform autopsies on the bodies to determine the causes of death of both individuals while authorities continue to investigate how they accessed the landing gear of the aircraft.

United Airlines confirmed in a statement to WGN News that the body was found in the wheel well of the main landing gears of Flight 202. “The wheel well was only accessible from outside of the aircraft.
