A flight to the Bahamas from New York, with 143 people aboard, diverted to Palm Beach International Airport on Thursday afternoon after a report of smoke in the cockpit led the crew to declare an emergency, local and federal authorities said.

No one was hurt when JetBlue Airways Flight 421, headed to Nassau from John F. Kennedy International Airport, landed at PBIA without incident, according to the Federal Aviation Administration and Palm Beach County Fire Rescue.

Fire Rescue said the smoke was limited to the cockpit and had dissipated by the time firefighters came aboard.
