Montreal/Fraser Valley – (CNW) – Air Transat has reached a tentative agreement with the union representing its pilots for the renewal of their collective agreement. This agreement, which marks an important milestone in the process, lifts the risk of a strike and now allows its customers to travel with peace of mind. It will be submitted for ratification by the union members in the coming days.
Air Transat flies out of Vancouver but not Abbotsford.
“We are pleased to have finally reached a tentative agreement with the union representing our pilots, marking a complete overhaul of their collective agreement. We would have greatly preferred to avoid the threat of a strike, which forced us to modify our operations. We are aware that this period has created significant uncertainty, and we extend our sincerest apologies to our customers whose flights were disrupted in recent days. Our priority now is to quickly restore our operations and deliver on our commitment to provide service that meets our standards,” said Annick Guérard, President and Chief Executive Officer of Transat.
