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 International Airport in British Columbia to remove the parent and child.
Porter said removing the parent and child and their baggage delayed the Toronto-bound flight on Thursday past the airport’s 12:30 a.m. runway closure, forcing the remaining passengers to disembark.
Porter apologized to the other passengers, who were rebooked on a flight the following day.
加拿大波特航空航班因儿童拒绝就座和系安全带而取消
加拿大波特航空航班上周因一名幼儿拒绝就座和系安全带而被取消，导致飞机返回航站楼，并延误至机场的跑道关闭时间。
这家总部位于多伦多的航空公司周日表示，家长和机组人员多次尝试确保儿童就座，但未能成功，最终将飞机返回不列颠哥伦比亚省维多利亚国际机场的航站楼，以便将家长和儿童带离。
波特航空表示，移除家长和儿童及其行李导致该航班在周四延误，错过了机场的12:30 a.m.跑道关闭时间，迫使其他乘客下机。
波特航空对其他乘客表示歉意，并为他们重新预订了第二天的航班。
