TORONTO –A Porter Airlines flight in Canada was canceled last week after a young child refused to sit down and buckle up, forcing the plane back to the terminal and delaying it past the airport’s runway closure
The Toronto-based airline said Sunday the parent and crew repeatedly tried unsuccessfully to secure the child in the seat before returning the plane to the terminal in Victoria <a href="https://todaytrendnews7.com/no-credible-threat-found-after-alaska-airlines-flight-reports-customer-disturbance-threats-at-miami-international-airport/” title=”No credible threat found after Alaska Airlines flight reports "customer disturbance," threats at Miami International Airport”>International Airport in British Columbia to remove the parent and child
