Delta Air Lines offers $30,000 for each passenger on the flight that crashed in Toronto

Delta Air Lines is offering passengers who were on the flight that crashed and overturned at Toronto Pearson International Airport $30,000 each.

Delta Air Lines Flight 4819 flipped over upon landing at Toronto Pearson International airport, leaving 76 passengers hanging upside down from their seatbelts. Now the company is offering them $30,000 each. If all passengers accept the offer, the airline will pay out approximately $2.3 million in total. “Delta Care Team representatives are telling customers this gesture has no strings attached and does not affect their rights,” a spokesperson for the airline told CNN. The CRJ900 twin-jet aircraft was cleared for landing on February 17 when, at around 2:15 p.m. ET, it crashed, caught fire and flipped over. Video obtained by CNN shows the aircraft’s rear landing gear buckling and the right wing shearing off in a fireball after the plane landed hard on the runway. Strong winds had been reported in Toronto throughout the day. All 80 people on board, including four crew members, survived. Twenty-one passengers were taken to the hospital but have since been released, according to the airline. It is unclear when and how passengers will be able to receive the compensation for the flight, which was arriving from Minneapolis and operated by Delta subsidiary Endeavor Air.
