Airline: “Take concerns very seriously”
“In cases where a guest is deemed unfit to travel due to illness, our crew must make difficult decisions in the name of safety,” airline Westjet told Now Toronto. The safety of passengers and crew is a high priority, “which is why we take all health concerns very seriously,” the airline said.

“I was on medication and was on the mend,” Chiu explained to X that she cannot understand this decision. She was also given “no assurance” that she could be rebooked on another flight when she was thrown off the plane. To make matters worse, she had left her money there as she hurriedly left the plane. She ended up having to pay for a hotel room, but was allowed to fly on another Westjet plane the next day at no extra cost.
