What caused the crash?
So far, authorities have not revealed how the accident happened.
Todd Aitken, the airport's fire chief, said late Monday that it was too early to determine the cause of the crash.
"It'sreally important that we do not speculate. What we can say is the runway was dry and there was no crosswind conditions," he told a news conference.
Pearson Airport reported earlier Monday that it was coping with strong winds and freezing temperatures after Saturday's snowstorm that dumped more than 22 cm (8.6 inches) of snow at the airport. The airlines tried to make up for missing flights.
