Air Canada has announced that it should gradually resume its flights later Sunday (17), a day after the Canadian government issued a directive to end the flight attendant’s strike. The stoppage, which began on Saturday (16), was the first since 1985 and affected more than 100,000 passengers, with the suspension of about 700 daily flights.
According to the airline, the resumption of operations begins on Sunday night, but the complete standardization of the mesh should take between 7 and 10 days. This means that part of the flights will continue to be canceled over next week until the programming is stabilized.
The impacts of the strike began on Friday (15), when flights were canceled in anticipation of the stoppage. The decision of the cabin crew occurred after months of negotiations by a new collective labor contract.
With government intervention, the thousands of commissioners who had left their posts were forced to return, allowing the company to start the reorganization of its operations. It is expected that affected passengers are progressively relocated, reducing delays and cancellations.
