“Two pilots were killed at New York’s LaGuardia Airport late Sunday night after an Air Canada jet struck a Port Authority vehicle on the ground while landing, officials said. More than 40 passengers, crew members and Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting officers were hospitalized. The airport is expected to be closed until 2 p.m. Monday. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney commented on the ground collision at LaGuardia Airport in New York that left two pilots dead and dozens of others injured. Carney wrote in a post on X that the fatal collision involving an Air Canada Express aircraft was ‘deeply saddening.’ ‘Canadian officials are working closely with their U.S. counterparts on the ground as the investigation continues,’ Carney wrote. ‘My thoughts are with the victims, their families, and all those impacted.'” (03/23/26)
