WestJet Strike Ends with New Agreement, Travel Disruptions Continue

Mechanics secure significant wage increases as WestJet works to restore normal operations after chaotic Canada Day weekend.

Strike affected over 100,000 passengers and led to the cancellation of more than 800 flights.
WestJet and the Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association reached a tentative five-year deal.
Mechanics receive an immediate 15.5% wage increase, with additional raises over the contract term.
WestJet faces ongoing disruptions as it works to reposition aircraft and crew.
Both parties agree to binding arbitration if the contract ratification fails.
