Flight from Victoria to Toronto forced to return to terminal after repeated attempts to secure child in seat failed
A Canadian airline cancelled a flight from Victoria to Toronto after a child refused to wear a seatbelt.
The child was standing in their chair as the 6 August Porter Airlines flight taxied towards the runway, the airline said. Repeated attempts by an accompanying parent and crew to secure the child in their seat failed, so the crew elected to return to the terminal and have the two passengers disembark as “the aircraft could not take off in this unsafe condition”, it added.
