Canadian airline Air Transat and the union representing its pilots announced they reached a tentative agreement, which would avert a strike and suspension of flights.

Air Transat said the proposal would be "submitted to members for ratification in the coming days."

"Our operations are returning to normal," said Air Transat's announcement on Tuesday.

Captain Bradley Small, chair of the Air Transat ALPA Master Executive Council (MEC), said his union's "unity and resolve finally brought Air Transat management to the bargaining table to negotiate in a meaningful way."

More than 750 pilots must now vote on the deal.
