Air Canada’s pilots have successfully ratified a new four-year deal, marking a historic moment for the airline. This agreement brings an impressive $1.9 billion increase from the previous contract, reinforcing Air Canada’s commitment to its pilots. The deal comes after lengthy negotiations and a tense period where pilots had been without a contract since September 2023.

This new contract highlights Air Canada’s dedication to compensating its pilots fairly, with pay increasing by nearly 42% over the next three years. Though most pilots approved the deal, 33% voted against it, reflecting some disagreement within the pilot community.

Had the deal not been accepted, Air Canada was on the verge of facing a large-scale strike. Preparations were underway, with passengers being notified and allowed to rebook flights. A strike would have disrupted up to 700 flights daily, impacting over 100,000 travelers.

The newly ratified contract is a significant win for Air Canada and its pilots, preventing a strike that could have caused chaos within the airline’s operations. The new deal provides a solid foundation for growth and positions Air Canada’s pilots as the best compensated in the country. The deal also ensures job security, salary increases, and an improved work-life balance for the airline’s workforce.
