Aeroflot SSJ100s to resume service this month
13th February 2013
A Delta Air Lines regional flight flipped upside down after landing at Toronto Pearson International Airport on February 17, 2025.
The airline confirmed in a statement that 80 people were on board the aircraft, including 76 passengers and four crew members. Initial reports stated that 18 people suffered injuries upon the crash landing at the Canadian airport, with Delta confirming later on February 17 that a number of passengers initially transported to area hospitals had been released. No fatalities have been reported.
Delta Connection flight 4819, operated by the airline’s wholly owned subsidiary Endeavor Air, was a CRJ-900 aircraft traveling between Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport and Toronto Pearson.
“The hearts of the entire global Delta family are with those affected by today’s incident at Toronto-Pearson International Airport,” said Ed Bastian, Delta CEO.
Delta cancelled its flights to and from Toronto on February 17 after the incident. A number of flights from the airport remain cancelled on February 18, while two runways remain closed.
This is the latest accident to occur in North America in the past few weeks. On January 29, a collision involving an American Airlines passenger jet and a US Army Black Hawk helicopter in Washington, D.C., took the lives of 67 people. A medical jet crash on February 1 in Philadelphia killed seven, and a plane crash in Alaska resulted in ten fatalities on February 6, 2025.
The Transportation Safety Board (TSB) of Canada said in a statement that a team has been deployed to investigate the accident. Additionally, the US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) also confirmed that it will assist in the TSB’s investigation.
