Air Canada has reached a four-year tentative agreements with its pilots, avoiding both a strike by the pilots and or a lockout by the company.
Terms of the deal won’t be released until a ratification vote by the pilots, which is expected to take place over the next month.
The Airline Pilots Association says the deal means an extra $1.9 billion for its members over the life of the contact.
The news comes to the relief of more than 100,000 customers who had been bracing for a possible shut down that would have upset travel plans.
Flights will be running as normal from the weekend.
