A Jetblue Airbus A321-200, registration N903JB performing flight B6-704 from San Juan (Puerto Rico) to New York JFK,NY (USA) with 186 people on board, was accelerating for takeoff on runway 08 when the crew rejected takeoff at high speed due to abnormal engine (V2533) indications. The aircraft stopped safely on the runway, tower radioed the crew: "your left engine is ablaze", activated the crash button and closed runway 08. The A321 was evacuated. Three passengers received minor injuries as result of the evacuation. Emergency services responded and put the engine fire out.

An aircraft at the holding point waiting for departure from runway 08 was issued taxi instructions to enter the runway and exit to the next right to taxi to the holding point runway 10.

The airline reported: " Preliminary reports lead us to suspect that Flight 704 SJU – JFK had a bird ingestion into the #1 engine."
