TORONTO: Ed Bastian, CEO of Delta Air Lines, stated on Wednesday that experienced flight crew members were on board the regional plane that flipped upside down when it landed in Toronto earlier this week. In an interview with “CBS Mornings,” Bastian said that the crew of Delta’s Endeavour Air subsidiary, which was involved in Monday’s incident that left 21 passengers injured, was accustomed to the wintry weather in Toronto.
Bastian stated, “At Delta, there is only one level of safety.” “These pilots all prepare for these circumstances.” While praising the flight crew’s prompt evacuation of the aircraft, Bastian described the incident’s video as “horrifying.” “We train for this,” Bastian stated. “We constantly train for this.” It is anticipated that everyone hurt will live.
Investigators reported recovering black boxes for laboratory analysis on Tuesday. Parts of the CRJ900 aircraft split after the initial collision on the runway at Toronto’s Pearson Airport, and a fire broke out, according to senior investigator Ken Webster of the Transportation Safety Board of Canada. According to Bastian, flying is still safe despite a number of well-publicized incidents. According to Bastian, “it is the safest mode of transportation, period.”Similar to other aviation safety professionals, Webster stated that it was too soon to determine the fate of Minneapolis-St. Paul Flight 4819. Numerous variables typically contribute to air crashes.
