Passenger flight is cancelled after young child refuses to sit down and buckle up

A Porter Airlines flight in Canada was cancelled last week after a young child refused to sit down and buckle up, forcing the plane back to the terminal.

The Toronto-based airline said Monday the parent and crew repeatedly tried unsuccessfully to secure the child in the seat before returning the plane to the terminal in Victoria International Airport in British Columbia to remove the parent and child.
It said the child, whose age was not known, was ‘standing in their seat and would not secure their seat-belt’, adding: ‘Attempts by the accompanying parent and crew to address this were unsuccessful.’
Porter said removing the parent and child and their baggage delayed the Toronto-bound flight on Thursday past the airport’s 12.30am runway closure, forcing the remaining passengers to disembark.
Porter apologised to the other passengers, who were rebooked on a flight the following day.
According to data from Flight Aware, the new flight left Victoria Airport at 10.49pm local time on Friday and arrived in Toronto at 6.16am local time on Saturday morning.
