WestJet Encore ALPA

Last night, a CRJ-900 operated by Jazz Aviation LP was involved in an accident with an emergency vehicle on runway 4 at LGA. Both flight crew members aboard the CRJ were fatally injured several passengers and a cabin crew member were injured, as well as firefighters operating the emergency vehicle.

Our condolences go out to our fellow aviators at Jazz, their loved ones and our colleagues at Jazz Aviation during this heartbreaking time.

The NTSB is the lead investigating agency and will provide all official updates. ALPA’s investigative team is travelling to LaGuardia today to support the NTSB investigation.

We at ALPA Canada and members of our Pilot Assistance Canada team recognize that events like this can have a significant impact on both our professional and personal well-being. For our members, please know that you are not alone. Support is available, and we strongly encourage anyone who needs it to reach out.

Again, our hearts go out to everyone affected and their loved ones during this incredibly difficult time.

Tim Perry, ALPA Canada President
