Air transportation safety investigation A25O0021

The occurrence

On 17 February 2025, a CRJ-900 aircraft, manufactured by Bombardier, operated by Delta Endeavor Air, was conducting a flight from Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport, Minnesota, to Toronto/Lester B. Pearson International Airport, Ontario.

Upon landing, the aircraft impacted the runway, and following the initial impact, parts of the aircraft separated, notably a wing and the tail section, and a fire ensued. The fuselage came to rest slightly off the right side of the runway upside down facing the other direction.

The 76 passengers and 4 crew members on board egressed from the overturned fuselage and a number were taken to hospital for treatment. The TSB is investigating.

Work completed to date

Investigators are conducting interviews and will continue for the next several days. The cockpit voice recorder (CVR) and the flight data recorder (FDR) have been recovered and sent to the TSB Engineering Laboratory in Ottawa, Ontario. The data has been downloaded and is being analyzed.

The aircraft has been removed from the scene and moved to a hangar located at Toronto/Lester B. Pearson International Airport where it will be further examined. Investigators have examined the runway and released the site back to the GTAA for site clean-up and return to operations.
