Leslie, Carter, and I tightened bolts and got ankle-deep in mulch with @kaboom, @Delta, and the @gpconservancy today to help build a brand-new playground in Grant Park in the #FightingFifth.

Thank you to the organizers and every volunteer who made this possible!

Honored to host @RepStricklandWA at our SEA hub last week! Thank you for your leadership and support of @Delta People! We were thrilled to showcase our commitment to the Seattle Tacoma community and great state of Washington as we celebrate our Centennial!

It was good to visit the @Delta team, a major employer at @flySEA and across our state.

Delta is working to keep Washington a global hub and travel destination.

This week, I held a town hall meeting in the #FightingFifth where I heard from dozens of constituents on their concerns. It’s these conversations that I carry with me to Washington and into the work I do. Read more in #NikemasNotes!

Delta Connection flight 4819, operated by Endeavor Air using a CRJ-900 aircraft, was involved in a single-aircraft accident at Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) at around 2:15 p.m. ET* on Monday. The flight originated from Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP).

Initial reports indicate there are no fatalities and 18 customers with injuries have been transported to area hospitals. Our primary focus is taking care of those impacted.

Delta has activated its Passenger Inquiry Center for family and loved ones of customers involved in today’s accident so they can connect with Delta for more information. In Canada, these individuals may reach out via 1-866-629-4775. In the United States, they may connect using 1-800-997-5454.

“The hearts of the entire global Delta family are with those affected by today’s incident at Toronto-Pearson International Airport,” said Delta CEO Ed Bastian. “I want to express my thanks to the many Delta and Endeavor team members and the first responders on site. We are working to confirm the details and will share the most current information on https://t.co/aQn3V6YNIc as soon as it becomes available. In the meantime, please take care and stay safe.”

The flight was carrying a total of 80 people – 76 passengers and four crew.

Delta has cancelled its flights to and from YYZ for the remainder of the evening and has issued a travel waiver. Details of the waiver can be found on https://t.co/TvVAdMkhBv. Delta is working to connect with customers whose flights have been impacted. Customers should also monitor the status of their flight via the Fly Delta app.

Endeavor Air is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Delta Air Lines headquartered in Minneapolis.

[Americans for Clean Aviation Fuels @ACAF_Coalition]

Growing America’s clean aviation fuels market is a tremendous economic opportunity that will drive the creation of hundreds of thousands of American jobs while making our nation more energy secure. We look forward to working with members in both parties to build momentum for policies that will make American aviation more sustainable.
