Delta confirmed that the aircraft involved was a CRJ900, operated by its subsidiary Endeavor Air. The CRJ900, manufactured by Canada's Bombardier, has a seating capacity of up to 90 passengers. The incident occurred within barely three weeks after an American Airlines plane collided midair with a US Army Black Hawk helicopter in Washington DC’s Reagan National Airport, killing all 68 in the two aircraft.

Immediately after the accident, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz said: "I’m in touch with Delta after a flight taking off from MSP crash landed in Toronto this afternoon. Grateful to the first responders and professionals on the scene."
