Air Canada has cancelled flights as a strike looms. Here’s what it means | Aviation News

Air Canada has begun suspending flights ahead of a potential strike by over 10,500 flight attendants due to stalled negotiations on wages and compensation, with hundreds of cancellations expected by the weekend. The Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) claims the airline’s proposed wage increases are insufficient, leading to a planned lockout by Air Canada, which could exacerbate service disruptions.
