US EditionTSB says still ‘too early’ to determine cause of Pearson plane crash, one year later
The Transportation Safety Board continues analyzing flight data and runway conditions after the crash injured 21 people, with no final cause determined yet.
- The Transportation Safety Board of Canada said on Feb. 12, 2026, that its investigation remains open and inconclusive as the one-year anniversary of the Feb. 17, 2025 crash approaches.
- The preliminary TSB report found the aircraft gained speed from wind gusts during descent, and aviation analysts noted the plane approached the runway at roughly 1,100 feet per minute while the co‑pilot pulled back on power to slow it.
- Investigators say the landing gear folded at touchdown, the wing detached releasing jet fuel that ignited as passengers and crew evacuated, injuring 21 people, while the cockpit door jammed forcing pilots to escape through the emergency hatch.
- The TSB has already carried out metallurgical and flight‑data analyses while the investigation remains ongoing, with multiple passengers having filed lawsuits and Delta offering US$30,000 in compensation, `has no strings attached`.
- TSB said in its latest update that it has analyzed Nav Canada data, Pearson airport surveillance cameras and meteorological conditions during ongoing simulator exercises, with future work focusing on finalizing technical and flight operations results before drafting the final investigation report.
