Members of Delta Air Lines' Technical Operations (TechOps) team played a crucial role in removing a damaged Delta Connection aircraft from the runway at Toronto Pearson International Airport on Wednesday evening. The operation, which took several hours, was conducted in coordination with the Greater Toronto Airports Authority and Air Canada, who contributed additional recovery experts and specialized equipment. This effort proceeded after receiving clearance from the Transportation Safety Board of Canada.

Delta's Care Team is actively engaged in Toronto, providing support to affected customers and their families by offering information, accommodations, meals, transportation, and addressing any other needs. The team will remain on-site as long as necessary and continue supporting customers even after they return home.

The Airport Customer Service team is focused on handling passengers' luggage retrieved from the aircraft. They are working diligently to ensure items are returned to their owners quickly and safely. Due to an extensive inspection and cleaning process required for belongings exposed to potentially harmful fluids during the incident, some customers may experience delays of weeks before being reunited with their baggage. Delta remains committed to supporting impacted customers throughout this period.

Reservations & Care has assembled two teams of specially trained employees to assist with response efforts. A group of approximately 130 staff members supported the Passenger Inquiry Center (PIC) line—a dedicated phone service established for family members seeking information about those involved in the accident. Information collected through this service was relayed to the Phone Care team consisting of over 40 employees collaborating with Delta’s Incident Response team at YYZ airport to coordinate travel arrangements, hotels, meals, transportation, etc.

Operations at Delta’s and Endeavor Air’s centers managed various flight challenges arising from this event. The swift response by Delta's Operations and Customer Center (OCC) facilitated the rapid activation of the Corporate Emergency Command Center (CECC), which continues its operations around-the-clock.

Endeavor Air and Delta Flight Operations teams are prepared to offer technical expertise or any other assistance requested during the investigation process led by aviation authorities.

In-flight services continue adhering to safety standards while providing reassurance and care for passengers on board.

An investigation into the incident is underway involving multiple agencies including the Transportation Safety Board of Canada and U.S. National Transportation Safety Board among others. Delta and Endeavor teams stationed in Toronto are fully cooperating with these investigations as participants.
