Emergency crews are responding to an “incident” after a Delta Airlines plane made a crash landing at Toronto Pearson International Airport.
In an official statement, the airport confirmed: “Toronto Pearson is aware of an incident upon landing involving a Delta Airlines plane arriving from Minneapolis. Emergency teams are responding. All passengers and crew are accounted for.”
The Association of Flight Attendants (AFA-CWA) also addressed the situation on Twitter, stating: “Our union is responding to an incident in Toronto with Delta Air Lines Endeavor Flight 4819. AFA crew were working this flight. Reports are there are no fatalities. Please do not speculate on this incident as everyone works to gather information and support those involved.”
Constable Sarah Patten of the Peel Regional Police in Ontario provided an update, saying: “It is my understanding that most of the passengers are out and unharmed but we’re still trying to make sure so we’re still on scene investigating.”
Delta Flight 4819 had departed from Minneapolis earlier today, and footage circulating online appears to show the aircraft flipped on its side on a heavily snow-covered runway.
According to local media reports, including CP24, at least eight people sustained injuries in the crash, though the severity has not yet been confirmed.
