A WestJet flight departing Calgary was cancelled on Wednesday due to a security issue.
The airline confirms that flight WS610 departing the Calgary International Airport for Ottawa was delayed for an ongoing security threat.
The flight was originally scheduled to depart at 10:45 a.m. and has since been cancelled. WestJet says they are working with airport officials and other agencies to “resolve the matter,” and will reach out to guests when more information is available.
