The wreckage of the Endeavor Air/Delta Connection Mitsubishi CRJ900 regional jet which crashed on landing at Toronto-Pearson International Airport (YYZ) on February 17, 2025, has been removed and recovered to a secure location, around 48 hours after the accident unfolded. The airport’s specialized TechOps team assisted in removing the upturned wreckage of the aircraft on February 19, 2025, through collaboration with the Greater Toronto Airports Authority and Air Canada, following Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) authorization.

The Endeavor Air CRJ900, which was completing a transborder flight from Minneapolis-St Paul Airport (MSP) to Toronto for Delta Connection (on behalf of Delta Air Lines) crashed as it landed in snowy and blustery conditions. All 76 passengers and four crew members miraculously escaped with no fatalities among those on board. 21 passengers were treated by medical crews at the scene for injuries sustained during the landing.

The wreckage has now been removed and will be stored in a secure location out of the public eye as investigators from Canada’s Transport Safety Board and the airline continue to examine what might have caused the plane to end up inverted and without one wing and its vertical stabilizer. Widespread speculation has hinted at an excessively hard landing, while others have suggested that a wind-shear event as the aircraft crossed the runway threshold may have been to blame.
