    Air Canada begins cancelling flights

    Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 13 Aug, 2025 07:56 AM
    • Air Canada begins cancelling flights

    Air Canada is starting a gradual suspension of flights to allow an orderly shutdown as it faces a potential work stoppage by its flight attendants on Saturday.

    The union representing around 10,000 Air Canada flight attendants issued 72-hour strike notice on Wednesday. In response, the airline issued a lockout notice.

    The airline says the first flights will be cancelled Thursday, with more on Friday and a complete cessation of flying by Air Canada and Air Canada Rouge by the weekend.

    Air Canada Express flights operated by Jazz and PAL Airlines will continue to operate as normal.
