The US airline Delta will provide $30,000 for each passenger on a plane that crashed when it landed at Toronto airport this week, the carrier told AFP Wednesday.
“The gesture does not have strings and does not affect its rights,” a company spokesman said.
On Monday, a Delta Air Lines plane departing from the US city of Minneapolis, Minnesota, rammed the runway at Toronto's main airport and turned it upside down.
A thick plume of fireballs and black smoke enveloped the plane. They stopped on the roof and slid in, but 80 people on board were not killed.
Delta said 21 passengers were injured in the accident, but as of Wednesday morning, only one passenger was still hospitalized.
Emergency personnel said emergency responders handled a variety of injuries among passengers, including back sprain, head injuries, anxiety and headaches.
In dramatic footage of the crash posted on social media and verified by AFP on Tuesday, the Bombardier CRJ-900 lands before sliding forward on a roll after hitting the runway and wings stop It was shown to be slipping off after cutting.
