VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 12 (Reuters) - Flight attendants at Air Canada (ACa.TO) have voted in favor of a labor agreement with Canada's biggest airline, a union spokeswoman said on Sunday.

Sixty-three percent of the flight attendants who voted backed the 21-month agreement, Katherine Thompson, president of Air Canada component of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), told Reuters.

CUPE represents more than 6,800 flight attendants at Air Canada.
