An American Airlines Boeing 737-800, registration N955AN performing flight AA-1696 from New York La Guardia,NY to Miami,FL (USA) with 152 people on board, departed La Guardia's runway 13 when shortly after contacting departure the crew reported they had a burning smell, later smoke in the cabin, they declared emergency and wanted to divert to JFK Airport. The crew stopped the climb at 5000 feet, advised they were too busy to provide number of people on board and fuel on board and received vectors to JFK's runway 22R, prompting a staccato of ATC instructions on JFK final approach to squeeze the emergency aircraft into the already dense landing sequence with other aircraft climbing and turning out of the way. The aircraft landed safely on JFK's runway 22R about 10 minutes after departure and vacated the runway.

A replacement Boeing 737-800 registration N805NN reached Miami with a delay of 3.5 hours.

The airline reported the left hand engine ingested a bird on departure from La Guardia causing the burning smell.
