A JetBlue flight from New York to San Diego landed safely in Kansas after the crew received an alert about smoke in the cargo area, authorities said. The airline said it turned out to be a false alarm.

A JetBlue flight made an emergency landing in Kansas Saturday evening after "a fire-like smoke" was detected in the cockpit, according to the Salina Airport Authority.

The plane dropped down more than 30,000 feet in less than 10 minutes as it landed at the airport, according to Flight Radar 24 data.
