Senior leadership from Endeavor Air, which operated the flight, is on-site to provide direct assistance and cooperate fully with investigators. The airline has expressed gratitude for the first responders and medical personnel who quickly attended to the injured.

Operations at Toronto Pearson have resumed, with Delta implementing larger aircraft on two flights to accommodate increased passenger needs. A travel waiver remains in effect to offer flexibility for affected customers, easing travel disruptions in the wake of the incident.
