A Westjet Boeing 737-800, registration C-GNCH performing flight WS-2784 from Toronto,ON (Canada) to San Jose Cabo (Mexico) with 188 people on board, was enroute at FL360 near Houston,TX (USA) when ATC issued holding instructions due to an incident on the runway in San Jose Cabo. After about 30 minutes in the hold the crew decided in consultation with dispatch to divert to their alternate Mazatlan (Mexico). The crew received further holding instruction, determined they would land below minimum fuel requirements and declared a fuel emergency. Shortly thereafter the aircraft was cleared directly to Mazatlan and landed on Mazatlan's runway 27 about 5.5 hours after departure.

Canada's TSB reported: The aircraft "landed safely with approximately 6300 lbs of fuel on board, 651 lbs below the planned reserve."

The aircraft remained on the ground in Mazatlan for about 80 minutes, then continued the flight to San Jose Cabo and reached the destination with a delay of about 2:40 hours.
