More WestJet flights cancelled from Vancouver

WestJet flights continued to be cancelled at YVR Tuesday after the mechanics’ union and the airline reached a tentative agreement.

Six flights departing from the airport have been cancelled, including the 8:30 a.m., 9:30 a.m. and 4:28 p.m. flights to Calgary, the 12:20 p.m. flight to Regina, the 5:15 p.m. flight to Edmonton and the 10:35 p.m. flight to Toronto.

WestJet announced a tentative agreement with the airline’s unionized mechanics on Sunday evening, hours after the two sides returned to the negotiating table.

The airline warns there will be “further disruptions” in the coming weeks as operations return to normal.

A total of 1,078 flights have been cancelled since Thursday, affecting tens of thousands of passengers. On Tuesday, 27 flights were suspended nationwide, after 292 flights were cancelled on Monday.

YVR urges passengers to check their flights before arriving as the airline works to restore service.
