Toronto’s Pearson airport says operations are back to normal roughly a week after a crash landing that sent 21 people to hospital and led to days of travel disruptions at Canada’s busiest airport.

A spokesperson for the airport said Sunday that the runway where the Delta Air Lines crash took place last Monday had reopened and the second runway that was also closed after the crash, was expected reopen soon.

The airport said that one per cent of departing flights and two per cent of arriving ones have been cancelled by airlines as of 9 a.m., which is within the normal range.

All 76 passengers and four crew members survived when the plane burst into flames after flipping over and skidding on the tarmac, and those who were hospitalized have since been released.

The airline has offered US$30,000 in compensation to passengers who were on the plane, saying the money has “no strings attached.” At least two people have filed lawsuits.

The Transportation Safety Board of Canada continues to investigate the crash.
