WestJet said further cancellations will be required in the coming days as the airline ramps back up its regular operations, according to a statement on Monday.
In order to do so, WestJet said flight crews need to be transported to airports across the country. That will include retrieving crew members that were stranded while the strike took place, the airline added.
