On Friday, December 12, 2025, JetBlue Flight 1112 narrowly avoided a midair collision with a U.S. Air Force tanker over the Caribbean Sea near Venezuela.
Key Details of the Incident
Location: The encounter occurred approximately 40 to 64 miles off the coast of Venezuela, shortly after the flight departed from Curaçao en route to John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York.
Evasive Action: The pilot of the Airbus A320 was forced to abruptly halt the aircraft's climb and level off to maintain separation.
Proximity: The pilot reported that the military refueler passed directly in front of the commercial jet at the same altitude, potentially as close as two to five miles.
Transponder Issues: The JetBlue pilot described the situation as "outrageous" over air traffic control (ATC) radio, noting the military aircraft did not have its transponder turned on, making it invisible to standard radar and the commercial plane's collision avoidance systems.
Context: The incident occurred amid heightened U.S. military activity and drug interdiction efforts in the Caribbean. A second near-miss involving a private jet and a U.S. military tanker was reported in the same region the following day, Saturday, December 13.
