MONTREAL — Following negotiations for renewal of the Air Transat flight attendants’ collective agreement, the federal Labour department’s mediator submitted a new recommendation on July 4, which was accepted by both parties. The union representing the airline’s flight attendants says they will vote on a new agreement in the coming weeks.

“We eagerly accept this recommendation, which will resolve the impasse with our flight attendants,” said Jean-François Lemay, President and General Manager of Air Transat. “The strike threat is ended and travellers can book and fly with us with total peace of mind.”

No details of the proposed deal will be released until after the 1,750 flight attendants vote on the tentative agreement between the Montreal-based company and the Canadian Union of Public Employees.

The flight attendants earlier voted 93.2% against an earlier tentative settlement reached on June 6, just days after they voted in favour of a strike mandate.

Union president Martyn Smith had previously said the company wanted to substantially increase employee workloads. Air Transat declined to comment on the union’s assertion.

A spokeswoman for the Air Transat Component of CUPE said the workers had planned to strike if no deal was reached by Friday at 11:59 p.m. ET.

The previous agreement ended on Oct. 31, 2015, and a federal mediator entered the talks last March.
