The St. John’s International Airport Authority has reached a deal with its firefighting staff to keep the airport operating normally.
Both the airport and the Union of Canadian Transportation Employees, which represents the firefighters, released statements Thursday night outlining the development.
The union said they’ve “reached an understanding that will see the airport remain open while addressing the concerns of the airport firefighters.”
The move comes after days of uncertainty for some air travellers.
The labour dispute between the airport and the firefighters came to a head Tuesday afternoon, when most passenger flights in and out of the airport were cancelled because of inadequate staffing.
