An American Airlines Airbus A320-200, registration N104UW performing flight AA-2124 from Washington National,DC to New York La Guardia,NY (USA), was enroute at FL210 about 100nm southwest of New York when the crew descended the aircraft early to 10,000 feet and declared emergency reporting a hydraulic degradation. The crew entered a hold to work related checklists and decided to divert to New York's JFK airport. The aircraft landed safely on JFK's runway 13R about 40 minutes later, vacated the runway via a high speed turnoff and stopped just past the hold short line for an inspection by emergemcy vehicles. The passengers later disembarked normally at the gate.

The FAA confirmed the crew declared emergency due to a hydraulics issue.
