"This comes just a few months after Air Canada grounded flights as some 10,000 flight attendants went on strike in August. Air Transat pilots could be on strike as soon as Wednesday at 3 a.m. ET, the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) said in its Sunday announcement. Meanwhile, Air Transat says flights will be gradually suspended between Monday and Tuesday, while its priority is to "minimize disruption for customers.""
"Some Air Transat flights having already been cancelled Monday morning, as the airline begins to scale back operations ahead of a pilot strike that could begin as early as Wednesday at 3 a.m. ET. What will happen to flights? Air Transat says flight cancellations will begin progressively on Monday, with a complete suspension by Tuesday. Essentially, if you're flying on Air Transat between now and Dec. 12, your travel plans may be affected, the airline says."
Air Transat will gradually shut down operations over three days in response to a 72-hour strike mandate from the pilots' union representing 750 pilots. The pilots could be on strike as soon as Wednesday at 3 a.m. ET. Flight cancellations will begin progressively on Monday with a complete suspension by Tuesday, potentially affecting travel through Dec. 12. The company says its priority is to minimize disruption for customers and to bring travellers back home from their destinations. Passengers will be notified directly by email if flights are cancelled and refunded according to the payment method on file. Air Transat operates year-round from major Canadian hubs and provides seasonal service to multiple destinations.
