WestJet has reached a tentative deal with its mechanics to end a crippling strike that had disrupted the travel plans of 110-thousand travellers over the long weekend including several flight cancellations at Victoria International Airport.
In a news release overnight, WestJet says there will still be flight disruptions in the week ahead as its planes are brought back into service.
Airline president Diederik Pen says -- quote -- ``we take no victory laps on this outcome but will sleep better tonight knowing further harm has been prevented.''
About 830 flights were cancelled over the busy Canada Day long weekend.
