WestJet says one of its flights had to be diverted Wednesday night following a threat.
The airline says flight WS142 from Vancouver to Ottawa was forced to land at Thunder Bay just before 11 p.m. after receiving a “non-specific and non-credible” threat.
“At the request of Transport Canada, #WS142 diverted to Thunder Bay, where it landed safely,” WestJet tweeted out. “We are now following the lead of law enforcement.”
