The Air Canada Express jet collided with a ground vehicle at LaGuardia Airport in Queens, New York, on March 24, killing both pilots. The incident occurred during a busy night due to weather-related delays that resulted in 70 commercial flights taking off or landing at the airport that evening. This compared to an average of 53 flights on Sunday evenings in March since 2022 and the 31 scheduled for the night of the crash. The busy situation was exacerbated by a United Airlines flight declaring an emergency due to a bad odor, leading an air traffic controller to clear a fire truck to cross the runway to help. The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the crash and is reviewing whether the tasks were combined. Concerns have been raised about high U.S. controller workload, particularly late at night, when staffing is typically limited to two people and one manages both active runways and ground vehicles at a busy airport. The NTSB's investigation into the crash is ongoing.
