WestJet cancelled a Boeing 737 MAX flight after it had already left its gate at Calgary International Airport on January 22.
A spokesperson for the airline confirmed to Daily Hive that WestJet flight WS658, which was supposed to travel to Toronto, had to return to its gate after push off on Friday morning.
“After a normal engine start, a standard function of the health monitoring system indicated a potential fault that needed to be verified and reset,” said Lauren Stewart, a media relations manager at WestJet.
“This process takes time and requires a subsequent engine run, which we do not perform with guests on board.”
