Porter Airliines flight in Canada canceled after child refuses to sit down and buckle up

TORONTO (AP) — A Porter Airlines flight in Canada was canceled last week after a young child refused to sit down and buckle up, forcing the plane back to the terminal and delaying it…

A Porter Airlines flight was recently canceled in Canada due to a disruptive child who refused to sit down and buckle up. This incident occurred on Thursday at Victoria International Airport in British Columbia, forcing the plane to return to the terminal. The Toronto-based airline revealed that both the parent and crew made multiple attempts to secure the child and the parent in their seats, but their efforts were unsuccessful.

As a result, the flight was delayed past the airport's 12:30 a.m. runway closure, necessitating the removal of the parent, child, and their belongings. This unfortunate event led to the cancellation of the Toronto-bound flight, causing inconvenience to the remaining passengers. Porter Airlines promptly apologized to the affected passengers and assured them that they would be rebooked on a flight the following day.
