Delta Offers $30,000 to Each Passenger in Toronto Crash Landing

Delta Offers $30,000 to Passengers After Toronto Crash Landing

Delta Air Lines is offering $30,000 to each passenger aboard a regional jet that crash-landed at Toronto Pearson International Airport earlier this week, coming to rest upside down on the runway. The airline describes the payments as a "good-faith gesture" with no conditions attached, ensuring that passengers' legal rights remain unaffected.

The incident, which left 21 people injured, has raised concerns over aviation safety, though Delta has resumed normal operations in Toronto. This payout follows similar compensations by airlines in past accidents, such as the $5,000 offered to passengers after the 2009 US Airways "Miracle on the Hudson" emergency landing.

The airline's move aims to provide immediate financial relief to affected passengers while potentially mitigating further legal action. Meanwhile, aviation authorities continue investigating the cause of the crash.
