Flight in Canada canceled due to child refusing to buckle up

An incident in Canada resulted in the cancellation of a passenger flight. According to Canadian media reports, a child refused to remain in their seat and fasten their seatbelt as the plane was taxiing toward the runway. Despite the crew's efforts and the attempts of an accompanying parent to get the child to buckle up, the refusal continued.

Due to this situation, the aircraft had to return to the gate. Porter Airlines confirmed the incident in a statement, noting that safety on board is the highest priority. Consequently, the flight was ultimately canceled.

Rebooking of the passengers onto other flights was initiated to accommodate those affected. The incident generated attention and was described as curious in various media outlets.
