Ed Bastian, CEO of Delta Air Lines, said that the company will "do everything we can to support them and their families" concerning the recent crash at Toronto Pearson International Airport. Bastian made this statement in a February 18 post on X.

"Our most pressing priority remains taking care of all customers and Endeavor crew members who were involved," said Bastian, CEO of Delta Airlines. "We'll do everything we can to support them and their families in the days ahead, and I know the hearts, thoughts and prayers of the entire Delta community are with them.
