An American Airlines Airbus A321-200, registration N521UW performing flight AA-1023 from New York La Guardia,NY to Charlotte,NC (USA), was climbing out of La Guardia's runway 13 when the crew stopped the climb at 10,000 feet reporting they had a gear stuck in transit. The aircraft entered a hold for troubleshooting, the crew advised they got a lot of fuel to mess around with and subsequently decided to divert to New York's JFK Airport for a safe landing on runway 04L about 75 minutes after departure.

The aircraft remained on the ground for about 3.5 hours, then departed again and reached Charlotte with a delay of about 6:45 hours.

A passenger reported the aircraft had pushed back on time but then needed to return to the stand after a fake passport was identified with one of the passengers. The passenger was removed, then the aircraft departed but then the captain announced they had a landing gear problem and were attempting to recycle the gear. The passenger noticed the gear put the landing gear down, shortly afterwards the captain announced they were diverting to JFK for the longer runway. A new crew finally flew the same aircraft to Charlotte.
