Air Transat pilots, represented by the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA), have formally begun new contract negotiations with the airline’s management. 

According to a statement issued by ALPA on January 6, 2025, Air Transat Master Executive Council (MEC) officially notified Air Transat management last week about their intention to negotiate. ALPA union represents more than 79,000 pilots at 42 US and Canadian airlines.  

“We have a collective agreement that dates back to 2015,” said Bradley Small, Chair of Air Transat MEC. “We will negotiate a contract that reflects the current standard within Canada’s aviation sector, similar to those recently negotiated by Air Canada and WestJet.”
