Flight attendants went on strike after Air Canada gave wage increases to certain employees, including pilots with a 26% rise in 2024, a mostly male-filed role according to CUPE. In contrast, the union said that flight attendants, who are mainly women, received a lower 8% increase in 2025.

Air Canada flights will resume Tuesday evening, it said. Details were sparse on the tentative deal between the company and its flight attendants union, CUPE.

Air Canada had been preparing to progressively cancel flights and shut down operations as early as Sept. 18 if a deal was not reached.
