Air Canada strike to halt most flights, stranding thousands
Air Canada is preparing to indefinitely suspend most of its flights over the next three days after hitting an impasse in contract negotiations with its flight attendants' union. The union issued a notice of intention to strike, and Air Canada said a "phased wind down of most of its operations" is the best way to minimize the pain for its customers. However, the airline is warning that many passengers could be stuck while the strike goes on. "Air Canada and Air Canada Rouge carry approximately 130,000 customers a day who could be affected by a disruption, this includes the 25,000 Canadians that the airline flies home from abroad each day, who could be stranded," the airline said in a statement. The primary disagreement between the airline and its flight attendants' union appears to be over wages. The Canadian Union of Public Employees, which represents Air Canada's flight attendants, said negotiators have not been satisfied with the airline's offers for wage increases and other forms of compensation, and it rejected a proposal by the airline to continue contract talks in arbitration. The airline said flights operated by Jazz and PAL, its regional affiliates, will continue as normal during the strike, but those carriers only represent about 20% of Air Canada's total network capacity. "The first flights will be cancelled August 14, with more on August 15, with a complete cessation of flying by Air Canada and Air Canada Rouge on August 16," the airline's statement said. It's unclear how long the strike could last. Air Canada said customers whose flights are canceled will be eligible for a full refund if they do not travel on alternative flights arranged by the airline with other carriers. "The company has made arrangements with other Canadian and foreign carriers to provide customers alternative travel options to the extent possible. Customers will be notified of alternative travel options that are identified for them," Air Canada's statement said. "However, given other carriers are already very full due to the summer travel peak, securing such capacity will take time and, in many cases, will not be immediately possible." What an Air Canada Strike will mean for US travelers Air Canada does not operate any domestic flights within the U.S. Still, it is a major carrier for international connecting itineraries, and a key link between the U.S. and Canada. U.S. travelers with plans to visit Canada in the coming days and weeks, or to connect through Canadian hubs to destinations in Europe, Asia and beyond, should keep a close eye out for notifications from the airline about their flights. Even passengers who aren't booked to fly on Air Canada could be indirectly affected as other airlines try to absorb the passengers displaced by the strike. United Airlines and Air Canada are close partners as members of Star Alliance, so it's likely that United's international and trans-border flights will be a little fuller during the strike.

Las Vegas tourism officials blame tariffs for fewer visitors as others say magic's gone
Officials are speaking out after recent reports putting tourism declines in Sin City in the spotlight. On Tuesday, the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) held its board of directors meeting, addressing various factors that have been impacting tourism. Steve Hill, LVCVA president, reportedly spoke about the effect that tariffs are having on both returning and potential new visitors. "Some of the decisions our administration has made around international relations [have] caused a drop in tourism," said Hill, according to local outlet KTNV Las Vegas. Hill added, "Our international visitation is flat but is making up for a 20+% drop in tourism from Canada, which is our largest international source of visitation." Fox News Digital reached out to LVCVA for comment. Circa Resort & Casino CEO Derek Stevens recently told Fox News Digital that international tourism is down across an array of locations. "I think everyone is in a position where you can say we're missing some of our Canadian friends who aren't visiting this year," said Stevens. Nevada is among the top five most visited states by Canadians, according to the U.S. Travel Association. The association warned that the United States could see a 10% reduction in Canadian travel, which is about 2 million fewer visits, according to recent reports. The LVCVA board recently approved a $20 million sponsorship agreement for the Formula One Las Vegas Grand Prix. The agreement will extend the race through 2027 – an event that could boost tourism numbers. The board also discussed developments at the Harry Reid Airport — which has also seen a decline, dropping 4.1% year to date compared to the same time last year, according to the website. Stevens said he believes the lack of international visitors right now may be due to the overall global economy and exchange rates. Amid some uncertainty, he said the industry has acknowledged the economy has slowed a bit. "I think in six months, I would believe that Vegas tourism and our economy overall will be in a much better place," predicted Stevens. He noted the finalization of trade agreements will provide stability and "set the table going forward." Robby Starbuck, conservative activist and host of "The Robby Starbuck Show," previously told Fox News Digital it is not just prices that are keeping people out of Vegas these days. "Now nearly everyone under 40 who bets seems to do it online," Starbuck said. "Another differentiator is that older generations focused on real-life interaction — while younger generations feel just as content with parasocial online experiences," he said. "The Vegas marketing image is one centered on slots and showgirls, two things young people have no interest in," said Starbuck.
