New York's LaGuardia airport is facing significant delays and cancellations for the second straight delay following the deadly collision Sunday night between an Air Canada Express jet and a fire truck on the runway.
The Air Canada Express CRJ-900 plane, operated by its regional partner Jazz Aviation, was carrying 72 passengers and four crew members and had departed from Montreal, said Jazz, which is owned by Chorus Aviation. Jazz and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey confirmed that the pilot and first officer were killed.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said it does not expect one of the two runways at the New York airport to reopen until Friday.
FlightAware, a flight tracking site, said 207 flights, or about 19%, had been canceled and 195 delayed as of 9 a.m. EDT. The FAA warned of major delays throughout the day.
