VIDEO: Ten people were hurt when an escalator caught fire at John F. Kennedy International Airport on Wednesday morning.
Terminal 8 had to be temporarily evacuated, and some international flights were impacted.
Airport officials say the terminal has since resumed normal operations, but travelers should always check with their airlines for their flight status.
Terminal 8 houses several international carriers, including American Airlines, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, China Southern, Finnair, Iberia, Japan Airlines, Level, Qantas, Qatar Airways and Royal Jordanian. The FDNY said firefighters responded shortly after 7 a.m. to reports of smoke and found an escalator on fire. Terminal 8 was evacuated because of the smoky conditions, and 990 people were bused to another terminal, airport officials said.
