Air Canada Halts Guidance as Flight Attendant Strike Continues
Air Canada withdrew its financial targets for the year as a strike by flight attendants entered its third day, forcing the country’s largest airline to keep most flights grounded.
After months of stalled negotiations, 10,000 Air Canada flight attendants walked off the job early Saturday morning. The federal government stepped in hours later to order binding arbitration, forcing an end to the strike — or so they thought.
The Canadian carrier said it expects to call off 500 flights by the end of Friday. Air Canada said it was suspending its schedule and trying to get passengers booked with other airlines to limit disruptions.
