From Florida’s convention revival and Rome’s hotel boom to rising resort travel in Australia, India, and Mexico, the travel industry enters the new year with cautious optimism.

WestJet has started canceling flights as the airline reacts to its Aircraft Maintenance Engineers and other Technical Operations employee's plan to go on strike as of Friday, June 28, 5:30 p.m. MT. This action ensures the airline can safely park its aircraft in a controlled manner while enabling proactive communication and preventing the stranding of WestJet's guests and crew.
WestJet has presented the Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association (AMFA) with a Canadian industry-leading agreement better suited than the previously rejected tentative agreement. Just hours into day one of a mutually agreed to four-day bargaining period, the union served a strike notice. This timing could disrupt the travel plans of more than 250,000 guests scheduled to travel over the July long weekend and appears to be an attempt to force an unreasonable contract.
