WestJet still cancelling flights Tuesday after long-weekend strike

Travellers across Alberta faced continued delays as WestJet works to restore its full schedule following a brief labour disruption.

Why it matters

The continued disruptions mean travellers across Alberta may still face delays or cancellations when booking or checking WestJet flights.

WestJet flight cancellations persisted into Tuesday as the airline continued ramping up operations after a short work stoppage over the long weekend, according to aviation analytics data cited by the airline.

The disruption, which began with a brief strike, has led to a cascading effect on flight schedules, leaving some travellers dealing with cancellations days after the initial stoppage ended.

WestJet has not provided a specific timeline for when its schedule will fully return to normal, though the airline said it is working to ramp up operations following the disruption.
