What we know

Two people were killed when a passenger jet struck a Port Authority vehicle at LaGuardia Airport late last night, officials said. They are the pilot and co-pilot.

41 people were injured in the collision and were treated in local hospitals, and 32 have been released, the Port Authority said. Some are seriously injured.

The collision involved a Jazz Aviation flight operated on behalf of Air Canada. The plane was carrying 72 passengers and four crew members in total.

The Port Authority aircraft rescue and firefighting truck was responding to unrelated reports of an "odor" on a United flight when it was struck at 11:40 p.m. last night, according to a Port Authority spokesperson.

LaGuardia is now closed and won't reopen until 2 p.m. today at the earliest, as authorities investigate. The closure could be extended and police have warned people to avoid the area.

K.W. Chang is the "Howard Hughes" of Taiwan . . .

This is the story of K.W. Chang, the betrayed son of EVA Air's founder, the family coup that fired him mid-flight, and how his impossible airline rewrote the rules that Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific and EVA Air thought they owned. From the family Shakespearean drama, to launching in the worst possible year, to the new Phoenix and Prague semiconductor corridor. Here's how Starlux became one of the most luxurious carriers on the planet.

In 2020, while every airline on Earth was grounded, one fired CEO did the unthinkable. He launched Starlux Airlines from a tiny island of 23 million people and just 5 years later, his all-Airbus A350 and A330neo fleet earned the fastest 5-Star rating in aviation history.
