Court approves $4.5M settlement in WestJet flight attendant harassment case: law firm

Aug 13, 2026 | 10:32 PM

A law firm representing female flight attendants at WestJet says a British Columbia court has approved a $4.5-million settlement in a class-action lawsuit over workplace harassment.

JFK Law says on its website the settlement was approved this week after a judge ruled it fair, reasonable and “in the best interests of the class.”

The lawsuit alleged WestJet broke a promise listed in flight attendants’ contracts to provide a harassment-free workplace.

WestJet did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but has said it is committed to maintaining a safe and harassment-free environment.
