On January 22, 2022, JetBlue Flight 1748, operating its seasonal service en route from Yampa Valley Regional Airport to Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport suffered a tail strike during takeoff whilst trying to avoid an oncoming Beechcraft King Air 300 (N350J) that was landing on the opposite side of the runway.

Incident
<!-These short sentences are here to add structure to help me write out the paragraphs in full later.>
Uncontrolled Airport
Pilot error in task saturation at unfamiliar airport.
Winter operations
Pilots' Communication Errors and Unicom communication
After the tailstrike, the flight continued to climb, which is not part of the standard procedure post suspected tailstrike.
No loss of cabin pressure was detected, which would have indicated a fuselage/structure breach and subsequent damage.
Lack of awareness of the tailstrike until flight attendants alerted pilots to what they heard.
Late decision to make an emergency descent to a safe altitude and diversion to an enroute airport as a precaution and aircraft post-incident safety inspection.
