Toronto, ON – A Delta Air Lines plane, operated by its regional subsidiary Endeavor Air, was involved in an incident that resulted in the aircraft overturning upon landing at Toronto Pearson International Airport yesterday. The flight, which arrived from Minneapolis, was carrying 76 passengers and four crew members at the time of the incident. All individuals on board were successfully evacuated, and reports indicate that at least 18 passengers sustained non-life-threatening injuries.

The event occurred as the aircraft landed amid challenging weather conditions characterized by heavy winds. Reports indicate wind gusts of up to 40 mph were recorded at the airport during the time of the crash. The temperature at the time was approximately 18 degrees Fahrenheit, which may have contributed to the landing difficulties.

Authorities have initiated an investigation into the circumstances leading to the crash, with the Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) taking the lead in the inquiry. The TSB is tasked with determining the cause of the incident and whether any regulatory or operational factors may have played a role. The agency will analyze flight data, including the aircraft’s weather conditions, maintenance records, and pilot communications during the landing approach.

The aircraft involved was a Bombardier CRJ-900, a regional jet that has been in service for around 16 years. Typically, Bombardier aircraft of this type can have operational lifespans of 20 to 30 years, assuming they are maintained according to the manufacturer’s specifications and regulatory guidelines. Endeavor Air, as a subsidiary of Delta Air Lines, operates a fleet that includes this model among others.

Images and video footage of the incident depict significant damage to the aircraft, which has led to concerns about safety and operational procedures following such occurrences. Delta Air Lines has expressed gratitude that all passengers and crew members were evacuated safely, while emphasizing the importance of the TSB’s investigation in providing answers and ensuring future safety.

This incident at Toronto Pearson International Airport has garnered attention given the recent prevalence of severe weather conditions across various regions. As investigations continue, both passengers and airline officials are awaiting further details regarding the incident’s cause and the steps that will be taken in response.

Delta Air Lines has committed to cooperating fully with the investigation and has provided support to all passengers involved. The airline’s commitment to safety remains a top priority, and updates concerning the incident will be released as they become available.
