A JetBlue Airways flight to Florida was cancelled and two flight attendants were checked in hospital as a precaution after a suspicious powder was found aboard a plane at Boston's Logan Airport on Tuesday.
Airline staff were on board preparing for the scheduled 6:40 am departure of Flight 465 to Ft. Myers, Florida when a female flight attendant opened a tissue box and found a "suspicious white, powdery substance" emerging, Massport spokesman Phil Orlandella said.
No passengers were on board at the time.
JetBlue rebooked all passengers on other flights, Orlandella said.
Two flight attendants were taken to an area hospital as a precaution and later found to be in good health, JetBlue spokesman Mateo Lleras said.
Massport fire and rescue teams as well as state police investigated the incident and found no hazardous materials present, Orlandella said.
