Winnipeg Airports Authority spokesperson Tyler MacAfee said WestJet Flight 448 landed in Winnipeg shortly after 2:15 p.m. CT and paramedics went to assist. "Out of an abundance of caution, our crew notified the appropriate authorities that there was a potential medical issue on board WestJet Flight 448 from Vancouver to Winnipeg and followed all proper procedures." The WestJet plane that arrived from Vancouver with a sick passenger on board sits on the tarmac in Winnipeg Thursday evening, as passengers wait to board for the flight's continuation on to Toronto. (Marina von Stackelberg/CBC)The plane was scheduled to continue on to Toronto as WestJet Flight 490 at 6 p.m., but was delayed for almost two hours. Just confirmed w/ @WestJet employee the plane I’m waiting to get on is the same one they took the sick passenger off of.
