WestJet is restoring services after reaching a tentative agreement with the union representing its flight attendants.
The deal ended a strike and company lockout that began on 2 August, grounding WestJet’s Boeing 737 and 787 fleets.
Cabin crew have returned to work and will vote on ratifying the agreement, which improves conditions for additional duties.
WestJet Encore and codeshare-partner flights continued operating throughout the disruption.

Cathay Group’s first-half operating profit rose 27% to HK$7.5 billion, while revenue increased 25% to HK$68 billion.

Cathay Pacific carried 16 million passengers, with passenger revenue rising 26.3% and load factor reaching 87.5%.
Despite fuel costs surging 58.4%, the group remains cautiously optimistic amid strong summer demand.
