MONTREAL — Their union says Air Transat flight attendants have voted in favour of a new contract with the Montreal-based company.

The Canadian Union of Public Employees says 61 per cent of employees voted in favour of a mediator’s recommendation to end the labour dispute.

In a vote on June 30, 93.2 per cent of cabin crew members had rejected a tentative agreement reached on June 6, just days after they voted in favour of a strike mandate.

Air Transat (TSX:TRZ) says the six-year contract is now in force, retroactive to Nov. 1, 2015.
