Jazz Aviation flight attendants ratify new five-year labour agreement

Jazz Aviation LP announced that its flight attendants have approved a new five-year collective bargaining agreement. The subsidiary of Chorus Aviation Inc. operates Air Canada Express flights to 65 destinations in North America. The agreement includes "industry-competitive wages and benefits," although the airline did not provide additional specifics.

The Canadian Flight Attendant Union, which represents 865 flight attendants at Jazz Aviation, ratified the deal in September following a tentative contract agreement. Flight attendants had threatened to strike if a resolution could not be reached.
