Canadian flight cancelled after child refused seatbelt on 6 August
A Porter Airlines flight from Victoria to Toronto had to return to the terminal because a young child would not secure their seatbelt. The airline said attempts by the parent and crew to resolve the issue were unsuccessful, making it unsafe for take-off. The delay meant the flight missed the airport's midnight runway closure, forcing passengers to rebook for the next day.
