Delta Air Lines Offering Passengers $30,000 After Flight Crash Landed

Delta Air Lines is aiming to compensate passengers after a harrowing experience. 

The 76 travelers who were aboard Delta Flight 4819 that crash landed at Toronto Pearson International Airport on Feb. 17 have been offered $30,000 by the Delta Care Team. A spokesperson from the company assured passengers that, “this gesture has no strings attached and does not affect rights,” according to NBC News.

A total of 80 people—76 passengers and four crew members—were onboard the flight coming in from Minneapolis, Minnesota as the plane landed on the runway before hitting the ground and becoming surrounded by a plume of black smoke, subsequently turning completely upside down.

Due to the impact, the plane lost the tail and both wings.

In total,18 people suffered injuries and three were transported to medical facilities, NBC News reported.

The incident was described as “mass chaos” by a passenger onboard the flight.
