Summary
A ground collision between an Air Canada regional jet and a vehicle at LaGuardia Airport (LGA) has resulted in the deaths of two pilots and injuries to dozens of passengers. The airport is expected to remain closed until at least Monday afternoon, with over half of planned departures already canceled. Airlines have begun issuing travel waivers to affected passengers.
Our Reading
The escape is carefully planned.
LaGuardia Airport’s shutdown promises a break from the usual hustle and bustle. American Airlines is waiving change fees for passengers booked on flights to, from or through the airport. Air Canada is offering condolences to the families of the deceased pilots. The National Transportation Safety Board is leading the investigation into the incident.
And, of course, the airport’s closure is a great opportunity to rebook that flight to a less busy travel day.
