Air Canada and CUPE Reach Tentative Agreement

Air Canada says it has reached a tentative collective agreement with the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), representing the airline's approximately 6,800 flight attendants.

The agreement is subject to ratification by the union membership and the airline said that details of the agreement would not be released pending ratification, and approval by the Air Canada board of directors.

"The conclusion of a tentative agreement is welcome news for our customers and we want to thank them for their ongoing loyalty and support during this round of contract negotiations. It's business as usual and customers can continue to make their travel plans on Air Canada with confidence," said Susan Welscheid, Senior Vice President, Customer Service at Air Canada.
