The airline says flight 1203 from Newark to Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic was diverted out of an abundance of caution.
"The crew reported a handful of customers and crew members feeling unwell," the airline said in a statement.
The aircraft will be inspected before returning to service, according to JetBlue.
Flight 1203 continued to Santo Domingo on a different aircraft.
