Picketing could impact Allegiant flights in Bellingham

Bellingham, WALocal News

Allegiant Air pilots will stage a picket at Bellingham International Airport on November 18, potentially disrupting flights. Organized by Teamsters Local 2118, the protest will occur at over a dozen airports nationwide, with over 1,400 pilots participating from 10 a. m. local time. The pilots claim Allegiant has prioritized investments elsewhere while failing to negotiate a fair contract.

Bellingham International Airport, which serves six Allegiant destinations, may experience delays or cancellations as a result. This protest highlights ongoing labor disputes in the airline industry, where pilots are advocating for better working conditions and compensation. The airline's management has not yet publicly responded to the pilots' claims. Travelers should stay informed about their flight status ahead of the picket. This event underscores the importance of fair labor practices in maintaining operational stability in air travel.
