A Porter Airlines flight bound for Toronto was canceled after a passenger dispute involving a child who refused to be seated, according to the airline.

The incident occurred when a young passenger remained standing in a seat and would not comply with crew instructions to fasten a seatbelt. Despite multiple attempts by flight attendants to deplane the child and resolve the situation, the passenger declined to cooperate.

As a result, the aircraft was forced to return to the gate, and all passengers were rebooked on a flight the following day. Porter Airlines issued a statement confirming the disruption and emphasized their commitment to safety protocols.

The incident highlights ongoing challenges airlines face when dealing with unruly passengers, particularly those involving children and families. No injuries were reported, and the airline worked to accommodate affected travelers.
