Porter Airlines staff confirm they recently cancelled a cross-country flight after a toddler stood on a seat and refused to wear a seatbelt, preventing the airplane from taking off.
According to a statement issued by the company on Sunday, the incident happened at Victoria International Airport in British Columbia on Thursday.
As the aircraft was getting ready to take off, it said the young child “was standing in their seat and would not secure their seatbelt.”
A Porter Airlines representative said the parent and child were initially escorted off the aircraft, but eventually that was expanded to all passengers.
“We apologize for the effect this had on other passengers, who were able to depart on a flight the following afternoon,” the statement said.
