Air Canada flight cancellations

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 14 Aug, 2025 09:53 AM

Some Air Canada flights that were scheduled to take off today will be cancelled as the airline braces for a work stoppage this weekend.

The union that represents around 10,000 Air Canada flight attendants is poised to strike just before 1 a.m. on Saturday, as the airline also plans to lock out those workers.

Air Canada says it will begin cancelling flights today, with more disruptions Friday and a complete stoppage by Saturday if it doesn't reach a last-minute deal with the flight attendants' union.

It says customers whose flights are cancelled will be eligible for a full refund, and it has also made arrangements with other Canadian and foreign carriers to provide alternative travel options "to the extent possible."
