A flight operated by Porter Airlines, bound for Toronto from Victoria, was cancelled after a child refused to wear a seatbelt. The incident took place on 6 August, with the plane returning to the terminal due to an "uncooperative" young passenger who was standing in their seat and refusing to secure their seatbelt. The aircraft's crew decided to terminate the flight for safety reasons, as unrestrained children can become projectiles during turbulence, potentially injuring other passengers. This decision has sparked a debate online over airline etiquette and child discipline, with some arguing that parents should be more assertive in enforcing airline rules, while others sympathize with the child's fear of flying. The incident brings to mind similar instances, such as a father and daughter being ejected from a Southwest Airlines flight in 2018 due to their uncooperative behavior.
