More flight cancellations due to strike: WestJet
A sudden strike by the WestJet mechanics union is forcing the airline to cancel more flights over the Canada Day long weekend, disrupting the plans of more than 49,000 travellers.
The Calgary-based airline has already cancelled a total of 407 flights over the weekend in an effort to “maintain stability.”
Most of the flights were cancelled on Saturday, with 282 trips on WestJet planes being called off.
Among the airports impacted are those in Kelowna, Kamloops and Penticton.
