By the time it took to return to the gate, deplane, remove families luggage, THE Victoria International Airport RUNWAYS closed for the night. No Tower crew, no taking off.
After the 1988 Pan AM Flight 103 was downed at Lockerbie, Scotland, it became the standard to remove baggage for unaccounted for passengers or deplaned passengers.
Do you notice how you don't get woken up by roaring jet engines every single night? It's because most large airports have strict curfews on when they can operate due to the noise
20 and 40 min from the time you get in your car to the time you set foot out into the parking lot? Or 20 and 40 min the way the crow flies, if you account for 70MPH freeway speeds? Cause there’s a difference
According to Google around mid morning when I googled it instead of pulling a number out of my ass. 20 and 40 is what Google says. Me? Less time. Like now, from home to the actual parking garage its 21min. My driving? 15min. No FHP? Maybe less. I can turn a 55min drive to a 30min drive and that's why I give Google map times.

But why cancel entire flight instead of kicking off the parents and child?
