WestJet Flight Diverted After Threat

A WestJet Airlines Toronto flight was diverted to Winnipeg and evacuated after an unspecified threat, with six passengers injured leaving the plane.

It marks the second time in three days that a WestJet flight had to be diverted because of a threat.

On Saturday, a flight from Halifax to Edmonton was diverted to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Police searched the aircraft, and nothing was found.

WestJet said the plane, which took off from Edmonton, had been cleared by police, and would go back into service after routine maintenance and safety checks.

WestJet did not offer details on the latest threat, or the seriousness of the injuries.
