Delta Air Lines is offering passengers who were on the Monday flight that crash-landed in Toronto $30,000 in the aftermath of the incident.
The company told passengers that the cash offer has “no strings attached and does not affect rights,” CBS News reported.
All 80 of the people aboard the Toronto-bound flight survived when the plane, coming from Minnesota, crashed into the ground before landing and flipping upside down.
Seventeen people, including a child, were injured in the crash, but as of Wednesday, just one person remains hospitalized, Delta said.
Aviation experts said it was a “miracle” that everyone survived, and Delta CEO Ed Bastian spoke to CBS Mornings to commend the crew’s response to a unique situation.
“Our Endeavor crew performed heroically, but also as expected,” Bastian said. “The reality is that safety is embedded into our system.”
The company said in a release that it will continue to provide support to those who were impacted by the crash.
Investigators will examine what happened and how much of an impact high winds had on the landing.
It was not immediately clear how passengers will be able to claim their money, but NBC News noted that the company would have to pay out $2.3 million in total if all of the 76 people aboard the flight submit claims.
The Toronto crash-landing is the latest in a string of aviation accidents and comes just weeks after an American Airlines flight collided mid-air with a Black Hawk military helicopter and killed nearly 70 people.
