Wow: Westjet Cancelled An Entire Flight Because A 19-Month Old Child Couldn’t Wear A Face Mask!

The Canadian airline Westjet has been accused of cancelling an entire flight and threatening a family with arrest because their 19-month old baby was unable to wear a face mask. Westjet recently introduced a “zero tolerance” policy to back up mandatory face mask rules but both the airline and Transport Canada exempt children under the age of two from wearing a face covering. Choudhry says they successfully put a face mask on their older 3-year old child but struggled with the 19-month old who started to scream and cry. The family say they had never attempted to put a mask on a child so little and it was a natural reaction for their baby to panic. Posted By Persist
