Air Canada, the flag carrier of Canada, and the union, that represents its pilots, have reached a tentative agreement on a new four-year collective labor contract.

In a statement released on September 15, 2024, Air Canada explained that the new agreement with the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA), representing more than 5,200 pilots at Air Canada and Air Canada Rouge, acknowledges the pilots’ contributions and establishes a framework for the airline’s future growth. However, the details of the agreement with the union will remain confidential until the membership ratification vote, expected within the next month, and approval by the airline’s Board of Directors.

“Customers who used the airline’s labor disruption goodwill policy to change their flights originally scheduled from between September 15 and 23, 2024, to another date before November 30, 2024, can change their booking back to their original flight in the same cabin at no cost, providing there is space available,” Air Canada’s statement reads.
