The crew of Sun Country Airlines Flight 8800 out of Reykjavik, Iceland, reported the cockpit being hit Tuesday evening, police said.
Records show the Boeing 737-800 landed at Kennedy at 8:36 a.m. on a stopover to Minneapolis, Newsday reported.
A police helicopter en route to investigate minutes later also was hit. Two officers and a medical technician on board were treated at a hospital and released.
It wasn't clear if anyone on the jetliner was hurt.
The FAA and FBI were notified.
The reports were the latest in a series of laser-related incidents in the area.
