LaGuardia Airport (LGA) in New York is dealing with major disruptions after an Air Canada Express jet hit a Port Authority fire truck on March 22, 2026. The crash has grounded flights, leaving thousands stranded as investigations continue.
An Air Canada Express CRJ-900 from Montreal landed on Runway 4 around 11:40 PM. As the plane slowed to 24 mph, it crashed nose-first into a fire truck that was responding to another emergency. The plane sustained heavy damage to the front, and the truck flipped over. Air traffic control had urged both to stop just seconds before the impact, according to audio recordings.
Tragically, the two pilots died, which is a serious loss. Dozens of passengers, crew members, and firefighters went to the hospital, with some in critical condition. However, two officers in the fire truck are stable. Emergency teams quickly arrived, closing the runway for safety and removing the wreckage.
LaGuardia is closed until at least 2:00 PM ET (6:00 PM GMT) on March 23. There is a strong chance that this will be extended. All flights are either canceled or delayed, affecting airlines such as Air Canada, Delta, Southwest, and United. Travelers are sleeping on floors, and diversions are causing problems for routes from Cleveland and beyond. Check LGA’s flight tracker for live updates.
The FAA is looking into communication problems and procedures. Airlines are rebooking flights through JFK or EWR. Passengers who are stranded should check apps, reach out to their airlines, and ask for refunds. Operations may start to resume partially soon, but expect delays across the country.
No, closed until at least 2 PM ET March 23; all delayed/canceled. Track via official site.
The landing jet hit a fire truck at 24 mph on Runway 4; ATC issued stop calls. FAA probe ongoing.
Contact the airline for diversions to JFK/EWR or refunds. Monitor FlightAware or LGA tracker.
