NEW YORK, March 24 (Reuters) – New York’s LaGuardia airport is facing significant delays and cancellations for the second straight delay following the deadly collision Sunday night between an Air Canada Express jet and a fire truck on the runway.
The Federal Aviation Administration said it does not expect one of the two runways at the New York airport to reopen until Friday.
FlightAware, a flight tracking site, said 207 flights, or about 19%, had been canceled and 195 delayed as of 9 a.m. EDT. The FAA warned of major delays throughout the day.
