A Delta Connection flight narrowly avoided a major incident at LaGuardia Airport when its left wing struck the runway during a 'go-around' maneuver. Despite the contact, all passengers remained safe and the flight landed smoothly.
A Delta Connection flight carrying 80 passengers experienced a near-miss incident while landing at LaGuardia International Airport in New York on Sunday evening. The incident occurred around 10:10 p.m. when the left wing of the aircraft, operated by Endeavor Air, a subsidiary of Delta Air Lines, struck the runway surface during a 'go-around' maneuver.

After the wingtip contact with the runway, the flight crew successfully executed a safe landing and taxied to the arrival gate. Delta Air Lines released a statement expressing their concern over the event, stating that their flight crew followed established procedures for conducting a safe 'go-around.' They apologized to the passengers for the unsettling experience.
