加拿大波特航空公司一架夜间航班因一名幼儿拒绝系安全带而遭到取消。[1] 该航班原定于8月6日晚间10:30从维多利亚起飞,前往多伦多,计划于次日凌晨6:04抵达。[1] 机组人员在与这个家庭沟通无果后,最终决定全机撤离,涉及这对父母及97名其他乘客共约100名乘客。[1]
取消的原因与机场运营时间密切相关。[1] 由于维多利亚机场将在午夜12:30关闭,机组人员无法在此之前完成所有乘客的改签程序,因此决定让全部乘客下机。[1] 乘客Aryeh Kozuch评论称:"孩子就躲在座位下面。如果被强行系上安全带,他们就会从下面滑出来。"[1] 最终,所有乘客在次日抵达了多伦多。[1]
A Porter Airlines flight from Victoria to Toronto was cancelled on August 6 after a young child on board refused to fasten their seatbelt, forcing the airline to evacuate all passengers [1]. The 10:30 p.m. departure, which was scheduled to arrive in Toronto at 6:04 a.m., never left the ground as crew members were unable to resolve the situation with the child's parents [1].
With the airport set to close at 12:30 a.m., airline staff determined there would be insufficient time to rebook approximately 100 passengers—including the family with the uncooperative toddler and 97 other travellers—before the facility shut down [1]. Passenger Aryeh Kozuch described the challenge, stating that "the child just hid under the seat. If they were forced to be buckled in, they would slide out from underneath" [1]. All affected passengers ultimately completed their journey to Toronto the following day [1].
