Air Canada attendants strike: Carrier cancels flights ahead of work stoppage — Here's what passengers can do
Air Canada executives leave after they are interrupted by Air Canada flight attendants during a press conference as a possible strike looms, in Toronto, on Thursday, Aug. 14, 2025. (AP Photo) Air Canada began canceling flights on Thursday, ahead of a possible work stoppage by flight attendants, who issued a 72-hour strike notice, potentially impacting hundreds of thousands of travelers. A complete shutdown of the country's largest airline threatens to affect approximately 1.3 lakh people daily, A. Mark Nasr, Chief Operations Officer for Air Canada, stated the airline has begun a gradual suspension of Air Canada and Air Canada Rouge operations. 'All flights will be paused by Saturday early morning,' he said. Nasr added that this approach will help facilitate an orderly restart 'which under the best circumstances will take a full week to complete.' He mentioned that the initial set of cancellations, involving several dozen flights, will impact long-haul overseas flights scheduled to depart Thursday night. 'By tomorrow evening we expect to have cancelled flights affecting over 1 lakh customers,' Nasr said. 'By the time we get to 1 am on Saturday morning we will be completely grounded.' Nasr said the grounding will affect 25,000 Canadians daily abroad who may become stranded. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Use an AI Writing Tool That Actually Understands Your Voice Grammarly Install Now Undo They anticipate 500 flights to be cancelled by the end of Friday. He further stated that customers whose flights are cancelled will be eligible for a full refund, and the airline has arranged with other Canadian and foreign carriers to provide alternative travel options 'to the extent possible.' The Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), representing attendants nationwide, issued a strike notice, leading Air Canada to announce a 72-hour lockout effective August 16. According to the union, 99.7 per cent of its members supported the strike, which will suspend operations from Saturday until a labour agreement is reached. 'For the past nine months, we have put forward solid, data-driven proposals on wages and unpaid work, all rooted in fairness and industry standards,' said Wesley Lesosky, President of the Air Canada Component of CUPE. 'Air Canada's response to our proposals makes one thing clear: they are not interested in resolving these critical issues.' The airline stated that eight months of negotiations and an offer to go to arbitration failed to produce a deal. Some flight attendants at the airline's news conference on Thursday held up signs that read 'Unpaid work won't fly' and 'Poverty wages = UnCanadian.' Natasha Stea, who represents flight attendants in Montreal for the union, said she thinks the airline is counting on the government to intervene. Stea said they want a fair and equitable contract. 'There is still time. I'm sure if we sat down and talked we could actually get to an agreement,' she said. On August 11, it proposed a 38 per cent pay increase over four years, along with additional benefits and protections, but the union rejected the offer. What to do if your Air Canada flight is cancelled John Gradek, who heads McGill University's aviation management program, said that Canada's Air Passenger Protection Regulations require airlines to promptly notify passengers of cancellations—via text, voicemail, or email—and outline their options, CBC reported. Typically, Air Canada must cover the cost of rebooking passengers on another airline so they arrive within 48 hours of their original scheduled time. If that's not possible, or the alternative offered doesn't meet the passenger's needs, the airline must issue a refund for the unused ticket value. Expenses for hotels, meals, and other costs incurred while waiting must also be reimbursed—passengers should keep receipts and be prepared to submit them. Canadian North passengers should check how their booking was made: if the Air Canada leg was on a separate ticket, Air Canada is responsible for rebooking; if the journey was booked entirely through Canadian North, that carrier must arrange the replacement flight.

Former CPWD DG loses Rs 1.4 lakh to online booking scam
Gurgaon: Former director general Central Public Works Department (CPWD), Puneet Kumar Vats, who is currently an empanelled DRB member in the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), lost Rs 1.37 lakh while booking a suite in Hyderabad online. The website through which he booked his hotel turned out to be fake. Vats, 65, was allegedly doing travel arrangements for an official visit to a project site in Warangal, when he came across the website . He tried to reserve a suite for Aug 3 and Aug 5 through the website and initially contacted the number +91 9798168780 listed on the website. The respondent, identifying himself as Ajit, requested booking details via WhatsApp, which Vats provided.

Since the QR code had a Rs 2,000 limit, Ajit sent a GPay link instead, through which Vats paid Rs 15,299 and shared the screenshot. Later, Ajit insisted the fees be paid separately, promising a refund of the initial Rs 15,299. Trusting him, Vats made two fresh payments—Rs 15,200 and Rs 99—and sent screenshots. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Filipino credit card users should know about this! Read More Undo When Vats asked for the refund, Ajit delayed, claiming he was checking with the accounts team. To "verify" the refund process, Ajit sent a QR code for a "reverse payment" of Rs 10, assuring Rs 20 would be returned. Vats received Rs 20, boosting his trust. Then, Ajit sent another QR code for Rs 15,289 as a "reverse payment," but Vats accidentally paid Rs 15,279. Ajit exploited this mistake, claiming the system was stuck and the "excess" amount was now Rs 30,578. He sent another QR code, instructing Vats to pay this sum for a full refund. Vats complied but received nothing back, as Ajit blamed another "payment fault." By then, Vats had lost significant money in the scam. On Vats's insistence, Ajit involved another person claiming to be his manager, Mahesh Kumar, who promised a quick refund. Kumar then told Vats that another payment of Rs 61,156 was needed to "confirm the booking and release refunds." After Vats paid Rs 61,156, hoping to secure the booking and recover the excess, his son informed him that the site was fraudulent. In total, Vats was defrauded of Rs 1.37 lakh. The cons made another attempt to contact him on Aug 1, but he did not respond. An FIR has been registered under Section 318(4) (cheating) of BNS at the cyber crime police station, Manesar. Police are yet to arrest the accused. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).
