REGINA — Passengers on a WestJet flight bound for Ottawa found themselves making an unexpected detour to Regina on Saturday.

Passengers were transferred to alternate flights in order for them to continue their journey.

Stewart says the aircraft in question is being taken out of service and will be inspected by maintenance crews.
