Flights have been resumed but with reduction in transportation capacity on Monday afternoon after an Air Canada Express flight collided with a fire truck when landing at New York's LaGuardia Airport late Sunday.
Two pilots were killed and dozens of others injured.
The plane, carrying 72 passengers and four crew members from Montreal, struck a fire truck from the Port Authority that was responding to a separate incident, said Kathryn Garcia, executive director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a ground stop for all planes at the airport shortly after the collision.
The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) was deploying a team of experts to investigate the incident, according to the agency.
Teams from Air Canada and Jazz Aviation were also deployed to New York to cooperate with both the NTSB and the Transportation Safety Board of Canada in the investigation.
As a result, a large number of passengers were stranded at the airport.
As of 10 o'clock local time on Monday, more than 600 flights at the airport had been canceled or delayed.
"We've been here since 1 a.m., with the two-and-a-half-year-old [child]. So we're here trying to go home," said Scott, a passenger.
