NEW YORK CITY (BNO NEWS) -- A Delta Air Lines flight is preparing to make an emergency landing at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York due to engine problems, officials say.

"There is some sort of engine problem with the plane," a spokesman for the New York City Fire Department told BNO News. "We have 25 units standing by at [the] airport."

The spokesman said the plane, Delta flight 30 with around 200 passengers on board, is dumping fuel before it will attempt to land at JFK. The aircraft had just begun a flight to Moscow when the problems began, moments after take-off.

Flight records show the aircraft is a Boeing 767-300.
