Airport spokesman Phil Orlandella said a flight crew was preparing JetBlue flight 465 for a 6:40 a.m. departure to Ft. Myers, Florida when a flight attendant opened a tissue box and a white powder fell out.
The attendant became concerned and alerted authorities. The powder was tested and was not hazardous.
There were no passengers on the plane, but they were moved to another flight.
The flight attendant was taken to Massachusetts General Hospital as a precaution.
Authorities have quarantined the jet for inspection.
