Delta Air Lines is offering $30,000 to each passenger aboard Flight 4819, which crashed while attempting to land at Toronto Pearson International Airport on February 17, 2025. All 80 passengers and crew members survived the incident, with no life-threatening injuries reported.
Delta Air Lines has announced it will offer $30,000 to each of the passengers aboard Delta Flight 4819, which crashed while attempting to land at Toronto Pearson International Airport on Monday, February 17, 2025. The flight, which was traveling from Minneapolis, was carrying 80 individuals — 76 passengers and four crew members. Fortunately, all aboard survived after the aircraft made a rough landing and flipped upside down, with its right wing detached during the incident.
Despite the severity of the crash, Delta confirmed that all but one of the 21 passengers who were taken to local hospitals have since been released, with no life-threatening injuries reported. The airline stated that the $30,000 offer to passengers is "no strings attached" and will not affect any legal rights or claims. The move comes as part of Delta’s commitment to ensuring the immediate economic needs of those impacted by the crash.
At this time, investigation details remain sparse, though Delta’s CEO Ed Bastian did confirm the flight was operated by an experienced crew. The investigation is ongoing, with officials focusing on understanding the cause of the incident.
In accordance with international aviation treaties, airlines are required to provide immediate financial compensation for passengers involved in international accidents, even when the airline has not yet determined fault. Delta’s offer follows similar practices seen in past aviation incidents, where airlines provided initial payments to assist passengers before any lawsuits or settlements.
The offer has already sparked interest from law firms, with Rochon Genova, a Canadian legal firm, confirming they have been retained by some of the passengers aboard the flight. Although the payment is made in good faith to cover immediate needs, it does not equate to an admission of liability.
As the investigation into the cause of the crash continues, passengers are still considering their next steps, including potential legal action against the airline and its manufacturer.
Delta’s prompt response and offer of compensation reflect its efforts to support passengers while the full scope of the incident is examined.
