Air Canada flights resume within North America after strike

RED FM News Desk

Air Canada flights within North America are expected to ramp up this morning as the airline continues to restart its operations following a three-day flight attendants’ strike.

The company resumed flights Tuesday afternoon after a complete halt to Air Canada and Air Canada Rouge routes, which began on Saturday due to the strike. The airline stated it was initially focusing on outbound international flights.

Air Canada has cautioned that a return to full, regular service will take seven to 10 days as aircraft and crew are out of position, and some flights will continue to be cancelled until the schedule is stabilized.

Air Canada and the union representing more than 10,000 of its flight attendants signed a new tentative agreement Tuesday morning with the help of a federal mediator.
