Flights at Windsor International Airport are continuing as scheduled despite cancellations in Montreal and Toronto after a fatal Air Canada crash in New York.

An Air Canada jet travelling from Montreal to New York City’s LaGuardia Airport Sunday night crashed into a fire truck after landing on a runway, killing the flight’s two pilots and injuring dozens of passengers.

Windsor airport CEO Mark Galvin says Air Canada flights between Windsor and Toronto have not been impacted.

Flights to and from Montreal to LaGuardia have been cancelled until 2 p.m. on Monday.

Jake Keating, a spokesperson for Toronto Pearson International Airport, told CP24 that 26 flights have already been cancelled as a result of the airport closure in New York.

On average, he said, there are about 45 flights between Pearson and La Guardia each day.
