On Monday afternoon, a Delta Air Lines jet crashed at Pearson International Airport just as it was trying to land, compounding chaos from two massive snowstorms that had already wreaked havoc on air travel. With nearly 400 flights canceled and over 300 delayed that day, the airport temporarily halted operations for over two hours following the incident.
This disruption comes after heavy snow over the past weekend, which dumped more than eight inches on the airport. On Sunday alone, over 300 flights were canceled, and more than 500 faced delays. The ongoing winter storms have led to operational difficulties at Toronto Pearson, with crews working tirelessly to clear snow from 1,200 acres to ensure safe take-off and landing.
As the airport navigates these challenges, many travelers are waiting for updates amid the ongoing impact of severe weather and the unfortunate crash that continued to fuel travel frustrations.
