WestJet says the ongoing strike by the mechanics union is forcing it to cancel more flights, which will disrupt the travel plans of tens of thousands of passengers over this Canada Day long weekend.

In a news release issued Sunday, June 30, the Calgary-based airline says the Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association (AMFA) was continuing to strike, leaving it no choice but to proceed with further cancellations that will extend to July 2.
