A Delta Air Lines regional jet, operated by Endeavor Air, flipped over while landing at Toronto Pearson Airport on Monday afternoon. The incident occurred as the CRJ900 aircraft was arriving from Minneapolis with 76 passengers and four crewmembers on board. According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), all individuals were evacuated safely.

The crash took place around 2:45 p.m. EST amid wintry conditions at the airport. Images showed the aircraft overturned on the runway. "Our primary focus is taking care of those impacted," Delta stated after the accident.

Seventeen passengers were transported to local hospitals, though there were no fatalities reported. Deborah Flint, president and CEO of Toronto Pearson Airport, expressed relief that there was "no loss of life and relatively minor injuries."

The Transportation Safety Board of Canada will lead the investigation into the crash, with assistance from FAA investigators and a delegation from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) in the U.S. U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy confirmed coordination with Canadian authorities.

Delta CEO Ed Bastian conveyed his concern for those affected via social media, thanking Delta team members and first responders for their efforts. The airline has set up a Passenger Inquiry Center for family members seeking information about those involved in the accident.

Following an initial halt in operations due to emergency response measures, flights resumed at Toronto Pearson by 5 p.m. EST, although two runways remain closed pending investigation. As a result, flight disruptions continued due to both the accident and adverse weather conditions.

"We do expect there will be some operational impact and some delays at the airport over the next few days while the two runways remain closed for investigation," Flint noted during a news conference.

This incident follows another recent crash involving an American Airlines regional jet near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport on January 29, which is still under investigation by NTSB.
