Porter Flight to Victoria Cancelled After Child Refuses Seatbelt
A family got on an airplane.
The plane was going to a city called Victoria.
A child on the plane did not want to put on their seatbelt.
Airplane rules say everyone must wear a seatbelt for safety.
The pilot turned the plane around and went back to the airport building.
The grown-up and the child had to get off the plane.
They also had to take their bags with them.
The airline had to fill out a lot of paperwork.
It took so long that the airplane runway closed for the night.
So the flight was cancelled.
A Porter Airlines flight to Victoria was cancelled after a child refused to wear a seatbelt.
The aircraft returned to the terminal instead of continuing its journey.
The child and the parent were removed from the flight along with their luggage.
Porter Airlines said the removal process, refiling flight plans, and other paperwork caused the delay.
The process took so long that the airport's runway closed for the night, forcing the cancellation.
