Bodies of two people were found in a landing gear compartment of a JetBlue plane at the Fort Lauderdale airport in Florida, according to the company.
Gatekeepers News reports that the two deceased people were found during a routine inspection on Monday night after the plane landed, JetBlue said.
“The circumstances surrounding how they accessed the aircraft remain under investigation,” the company said in a statement.
“This is a heartbreaking situation, and we are committed to working closely with authorities to support their efforts to understand how this occurred.”
The Airbus flight came in from New York’s John F Kennedy International Airport, departing at about 20:00 local time (01:00 GMT) on Monday and landing at about 23:00.
Local police are investigating how the two people accessed the plane, while a medical examiner’s office is performing autopsies to determine their causes of death, according to CBS News.
The incident comes just two weeks after a body was found in the landing gear compartment of a United Airlines plane, which landed in Hawaii on Christmas Eve.
Officials have not shared how the person got into the landing gear compartment or what the cause of death was.
