canadian westjet strike forces cancellation of 150 flights impacting 20,000 passengers

OTTAWA, 29th June, 2024 (WAM) -- Canadian airline WestJet announced it had cancelled 150 flights on Saturday— possibly affecting 20,000 travellers "with limited re-accommodation options available" — just hours after the airline's mechanics said they would strike.

"Additional cancellations are anticipated by Saturday morning if the strike is not called off, or intervention does not happen immediately," the company said in a release issued Saturday.
