The flight – operated by Delta subsidiary Endeavor Air – crashed while landing at around 2:45pm local time (7.45pm UK time).

All 80 people on board were evacuated, CBS News reports, citing the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

Delta has said it is aware of reports of an incident involving an Endeavor Air flight and Canada’s Transportation Safety Board has said it is “deploying a team to investigate” the accident.

Toronto has been blighted by bad weather in recent days and this afternoon, the airport was experiencing blowing snow and winds of up to 65mph, according to the Meteorological Service of Canada. The temperature was around -8.6C.

Prior to the crash, dozens of departures and arrivals at the airport had been delayed due to the weather.

The airport had posted images on X after 53cm of snow fell over the past week.
