  "summary": "Porter Airlines faced an unexpected turn of events when a child's refusal to sit down and buckle up led to the cancellation of a flight and the rebooking of passengers for the next day. The incident occurred at Victoria International Airport in British Columbia, Canada, where the airline's efforts to secure the child in their seat were unsuccessful, prompting the plane to return to the terminal. As a result, the parent, child, and their baggage were removed, causing delays that extended beyond the airport's 12:30 a.m. runway closure. Porter Airlines apologized to the affected passengers, who were subsequently rebooked on a flight the following day. The incident was reported by Fortune.com.",
