Air Canada is set to resume operations after agreeing with the union representing 10,000 flight attendants, who ended their strike. The disruption impacted 130,000 travelers daily during peak summer travel. Flights will resume on Tuesday evening, although it may take up to ten days to stabilize schedules. Unpaid work for attendants while planes were grounded was a core issue, now resolved in the agreement. Both parties initiated mediation discussions, resulting in a commitment for flight attendants to return to work immediately.
The strike is affecting about 130,000 travelers a day at the peak of the summer travel season.
The agreement will guarantee members pay for work performed while planes are on the ground, resolving one of the major issues that drove the strike.
Full restoration may require a week or more, so we ask for our customers' patience and understanding over the coming days.
Mediation discussions were begun on the basis that the union commit to have the airline's 10,000 flight attendants immediately return to work.
