TORONTO — Porter Airlines’ flight dispatchers have ratified their first collective agreement with the airline.

The joint announcement came from Porter and the Canadian Airline Dispatchers Association (CALDA), and follows the Jan. 16 tentative agreement.

“In a significant showing of engagement,” 97% of eligible members participated in the process, with 97% of those members voting in favour of the agreement, according to the statement.

Porter and CALDA said they are pleased with the result and look forward to working with each other over the course of the agreement, as Porter continues growing its network across North America.
