Canadian Leisure Airline Faces Disruptions Over Contract Dispute
Canadian leisure airline Air Transat has begun suspending flights after its pilots’ union, the Air Line Pilots Association, issued a 72-hour strike notice. The strike could start as early as December 10, 2025, unless significant progress is made at the bargaining table. Air Transat pilots have been negotiating for nearly a year to secure a modern contract with industry-standard pay, benefits, and job security. The airline has proposed a five-year agreement with a 59% salary increase, but the union has deemed the offer insufficient. The situation was first reported by AeroTime.
