MONTREAL — Air Transat and its pilots have reached a tentative agreement on renewal of the collective agreement that expired last April. The agreement, whose approval will be recommended by the union executive, will be submitted to the pilots in the coming days.

“We have reached a reasonable agreement that is satisfactory to both parties and we are confident that it will be approved by all the pilots. The threat of an imminent strike has been averted,” said Jean-François Lemay, General Manager, Air Transat.
