Toddler’s seatbelt defiance grounds Porter flight from Victoria to Toronto
A Porter Airlines flight from Victoria, British Columbia to Toronto was canceled after a toddler stood up and refused to buckle their seatbelt, prompting the crew to abort takeoff and return to the terminal. Passengers disembarked and were rebooked for the following day, leaving them to overnight in Victoria. Porter apologized for the disruption, noting the unsafe condition prevented the aircraft from departing, and the story adds a similar incident was discussed online last month.
