A Jetblue Airbus A321-200, registration N956JT performing flight
B6-369 from Boston,MA to Fort Lauderdale,FL (USA) with 83 people on board, was enroute at FL360 about 100nm east of Raleigh/Durham,NC (USA) when the crew decided to divert to Raleigh/Durham reporting hydraulic problems. The crew performed an approach to Raleigh's runway 23L but needed to go around, then entered a hold. The crew reported they had lost green and yellow hydraulic systems and needed to work out whether they had sufficient runway length for a flaps up landing. The aircraft landed on runway 23L at a higher than normal speed (about 180 knots over ground) about 70 minutes after leaving FL360.
A replacement A321-200N registration N2044J reached Fort Lauderdale with a delay of about 6.5 hours.
The occurrence aircraft is still on the ground in Raleigh about 15.5 hours after landing.
The FAA reported: "jetBlue Airways Flight 369 landed safely at Raleigh-Durham International Airport around 11:20 p.m. local time on Tuesday, May 28, after the crew reported a possible hydraulic issue. Passengers deplaned on the runway and were bused to the terminal. The Airbus A321 departed from Boston Logan International Airport and was headed to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. The FAA will investigate."
