Air Canada flights will resume on Saturday evening, as a strike by its 10,000 cabin crew came to an end. The Canadian Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) told the airline's staff to return to work and said that an expired collective agreement would be extended until a new one was agreed.

More than 10,000 Air Canada flight attendants will continue their strike despite back-to-work orders from the Canadian government, the Air Canada component of the Canadian Union of Public Employees said Sunday.
