Air Canada, strike
Digest more
The end of the Air Canada flight attendants' strike is welcome news for travellers, but for some who had planned to attend P.E.I.’s Gran Fondo cycling event this week, it came too late.
Canada's government stepped in four times to aid seven companies last year, stopping strikes using an obscure Labour Code provision. A similar decree on Sunday failed, however, as Air Canada's flight attendants refused to obey and stayed on strike for three days.
The Canadian carrier said it expects to call off 500 flights by the end of Friday. Air Canada said it was suspending its schedule and trying to get passengers booked with other airlines to limit disruptions.
