NEW YORK – An Air Canada Express plane flying from Montreal collided with a ground vehicle upon landing at New York’s LaGuardia Airport, media reports said Monday.
The US Federal Aviation Administration issued a ground stop for all planes at the airport until 01:30 local time (0530 GMT), according to a notice from the regulator.
The notice attributed the halt to an emergency at the airport, saying that there was a high probability of an extension, without specifying any details.
