The CEO of Delta Air Lines Bastyan He said on Wednesday that the pilots of the regional jet he turned over during landing in Toronto this week were experienced and familiar with flights in winter conditions.

‘There is a level of security in Delta’Bastian told CBS Mornings in an interview. “All of these pilots are trained for these conditions.”

On Monday, on the day of the crash, Toronto’s Pearson Airport in Canada was facing strong winds and low temperatures as airlines tried to recover after a big snowstorm over the weekend.

Bastian called the video of the accident, which injured 21 of the 80 occupants, ‘Scary’but praised the actions of the flight crew for rapid discharge of the plane.

“That’s why we train”said Bastian. “That’s why we are constantly training.”

Delta said on Wednesday that only one of the 21 passengers remains in the hospital. All wounded are expected to survive.

According to Reuters, the airline said it offers $ 30,000 to all passengers who will not exercise their legal rights, including their ability to sue the carrier.

The Transportation Safety Board of Canada said in a statement that the researchers conducted interviews and had downloaded data from the recovered black boxes analyzed.

Two landing corridors remain closed at Toronto’s Pearson Airport, including the busiest runway in the country, with the debris of 16 -year -old CRJ900 regional aircraft built by the Canadian Bombardier still at the airport.

The aircraft is preparing for removal from the spot and the researchers will examine the runway before the space is cleared and released to the airport to return to businesses, TSB said.

The accident reduced the capacity to Canada’s largest airport, which has a limit on departures for its other three business corridors, said Toronto Pearson’s duty director, Jake keatingon the CP24 news channel.

“Even after the removal of debris, the airport will have to inspect the runway so that it can be returned to use.”he said.

Toronto Pearson said in a post on X that by Wednesday, about 5% of departed flights and 6% of arrivals have been canceled.

The TSB’s senior researcher, Ken Websterhe said that after the initial impact on the landing runway, parts of the CRJ900 aircraft were separated and a fire followed.

In a video showing the descent of the plane, the landing seemed flat and did not show the normal “flare” of the jet, where pilots were pulling the nose up to increase the step shortly before landing, experts said.

Webster said it is too early to say what happened. Air accidents are usually caused by many factors.

Bastian said that despite the many high -profile incidents, air travel remains safe. ‘Is the safest form of transport, dot’, he said.

The accident in Canada followed other recent accidents in North America. A military helicopter collided with a CRJ-700 passenger aircraft in Washington, killing 67 people, while at least seven people were killed when a medical transport aircraft crashed in Philadelphia and 10 were killed in a passenger aircraft in Alaska.

Bastian said the Trump government pledged to boost the recruitment of air traffic controllers and to improve air traffic technology.
