Air Canada Begins Wind Down of Operations Amid Strike Threat From Flight Attendants
OTTAWA—Air Canada AC 0.10%increase; green up pointing triangle said it has started to cancel flights and expects to wind down operations by early Saturday morning as the carrier braces for a strike by its 10,000 flight attendants.
About 500 flights would be grounded by midnight Friday, Air Canada executives said Thursday. In a best-case scenario, it would take about a week to restore full operations if and when a labor agreement is reached with the flight-attendants union, Chief Operating Officer Mark Nasr said.
