JBU1047 Cargo Door Open Inflight

[s2vKJFK]

JBU1047, E190, JFK-BNA had to return to JFK minutes after takeoff tonight because a cargo door was open on the aircraft. It never climbed above FL030 and was vectored back to RWY 13L with priority. AAR587 a B744 had to circle over the Sandy Hook NJ area before being re-sequenced behind JBU1047 for RWY 13R. After landing RWY 13L JBU1047 did not require any additional assistance and taxied to the gate. Car 99 performed a surface inspection and nothing was found on RWY 13L.

Who says jetBlue isn't lucky?

Did the door open in flight or was it open when they took off?

I am not sure???

was the cargo door open or did it just come unlatched? it is possible that the door was secure the entire time and it was only a faulty sensor, i've seen that happen a few times.

It never climbed above FL030
Flight levels begin at 180, so that would be just 3,000 ft.
