Alaska Airlines to launch London, Iceland flights, debut new livery for international expansion
Alaska Airlines is starting flights from Seattle to London and Reykjavik, Iceland, next May, adding to its global expansion following its acquisition of Hawaiian Airlines last year. Alaska plans to fly daily between Seattle and London's Heathrow Airport on its Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners, in a bet on both business and leisure travel demand. Seattle–Reykjavik will be served by a 737 Max 8 as a spring and summer seasonal service. The carrier in June announced it plans to start nonstops between Seattle and Rome next year. A few weeks later, rival Delta Air Lines, said it, too, plans to fly between Seattle and Rome, as well as Barcelona. Alaska is also planning to start flights between Seattle and Seoul, South Korea, in September. Its daily service to Tokyo's Narita International Airport began in May. The carrier plans to have at least 12 intercontinental nonstops from its home hub of Seattle. The airline also unveiled a new livery for its Boeing Dreamliners. New 787-9s coming off the factory lines will get the fresh paint scheme, with hues of deep blues and greens inspired by the northern lights. When it acquired Hawaiian, which already had widebody planes in its fleet for long-haul flights over the Pacific, Alaska said it would keep the two brands, which will remain on many aircraft. "They will remain unchanged as essential elements of our brands' legacies and history," Alaska said Tuesday.

The vote will remain open until Aug. 5. Here's everything to know about why the vote is happening, if a strike could happen, and the impacts customers might feel while travelling. What the union wants in the new contract After a 10-year agreement, the union is seeking a new contract that it says should address the issues workers are facing. The main issue they want fixed in the new contract is the amount of unpaid work flight attendants do. Of particular concern to the union is the unpaid pre-boarding preparation, which includes safety checks or assisting passengers with special needs.

Please try again This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. The union says flight attendants in Canada work for free an average of 35 hours per month. Besides the unpaid hours, the union also aims to increase wages and improve expense allowances, the amount of money they can spend daily while on layovers. The union also says it wants fairer rest and scheduling protections for flight attendants and a review of current pension offers. 'The company continues to show no willingness to meaningfully address the critical issues on the table: fair wages, compensation for all time worked, safe and humane working conditions, and a path forward that recognizes your professional value,' the union wrote in an update to its members. If the majority votes yes to a strike, what happens? This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. If the majority of workers vote in favour of it, and no agreement is reached, the 72-hour strike notice could be given as early as Aug. 16. However, the union says that its goal is still to reach a new contract at the bargaining table; but if not, a strike could happen as a last resort. What does Air Canada say about it? On Friday, Air Canada acknowledged that the vote was happening, saying this is a 'a normal step in the negotiation process and does not mean that any disruption will take place.' The airline also said it is committed to the bargaining process and remains fully available for more negotiations with CUPE to reach a fair and equitable collective agreement. How might this impact customers? Flights operated by Air Canada's main line or Rouge would be impacted, and most likely cancelled were flight attendants to go on strike. Air Canada Express and Jazz flights might not be impacted directly, since they are in different agreements, but could be due to the impact of cancelled flights. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. When it comes to refunds or rescheduling in case the strike happens, the Airline Passenger Protections Regulations (APPR) say that labour disputes are out of the airline's control, so passengers could get refunded or rebooked, but will not be compensated. The airline has 48 hours after the scheduled departure time to rebook passengers in the next available flight of their airline or any airlines they have partnerships with. If they can't do that in that time period, the passengers get to decide if they want to be refunded within 30 days or rebooked. Air Canada has a list of partner airlines on its website.
