The bodies of the two Air Canada pilots who died in a collision on a runway at LaGuardia Airport on Sunday are being repatriated to Canada.

The body of first officer Mackenzie Gunther arrived at the Ottawa International Airport Thursday afternoon. According to the Air Line Pilots Association, Capt. Antoine Forest’s body is set to arrive at 5:48 p.m. at Montreal’s Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport.

The association says the deaths of the two young aviators have shaken up the industry.

Forest’s death has sparked an outpouring of sympathy in his hometown of Coteau-du-Lac, Que., southwest of Montreal.

Gunther, 24, and Forest, 30, died when their Air Canada plane collided with a firetruck after landing at the airport.
