Two crew members were killed and two others injured when an Air Canada Express flight from Montreal collided with a ground vehicle during landing at New York's LaGuardia Airport on March 23, 2026. The incident prompted immediate emergency responses and a temporary halt to all flights at the airport.
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a ground stop until 05:30 GMT, citing an ongoing emergency with a "high probability of extension." While the New York Fire Department confirmed its response to the collision, authorities have not yet disclosed specifics about the cause or the identities of those involved.
This marks the first major aviation incident at LaGuardia in 2026, raising questions about ground operation safety protocols. Travelers and businesses are advised to monitor updates, as delays could ripple across North American air routes.
