A Jetblue Embraer ERJ-190, registration N190JB performing flight B6-1262 from West Palm Beach,FL to New York La Guardia,NY (USA) with 54 people on board, was on approach to La Guardia's runway 22 maintaining 2000 feet when the crew requested delay vectors to trouble shoot a problem with the flaps. Approach cancelled the approach clearance, instructed the aircraft to climb to 4000 feet and vectored the aircraft for about 15 minutes. The crew subsequently queried the landing conditions at JFK airport and decided to divert to JFK. On approach to JFK the crew declared emergency expecting hot brakes due to a fast approach and requested runway 31L. The aircraft landed safely on runway 31L at a higher than normal speed (about 170 knots over ground), stopped on the runway for an inspection by emergency services, subsequently vacated the runway and taxied to the apron.

The aircraft is still on the ground at JFK about 18.5 hours after landing.
