TORONTO, Canada — Delta Air Lines said it will offer $30,000 to each passenger aboard the flight that crashed and flipped upside down while landing at Toronto Pearson Airport on Monday, according to CBS News.
CBS News reported that a spokesperson for Delta Air Lines said the Delta Care Team told passengers that “this gesture has no strings attached and does not affect rights.”
All 80 people on board survived the crash, but 21 people were hospitalized with various injuries.
“We are very grateful there was no loss of life and relatively minor injuries,” CEO of Greater Toronto Airports Authority Deborah Flint said.
As of Wednesday morning, 20 of the injured passengers have been released from the hospital, according to a previous News Center 7 report.
Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian told CBS Mornings plane had an experienced crew that was trained for any condition.
