Air Canada is preparing to gradually suspend most of its operations starting as early as Sept. 15, 2024, as talks with the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) reach an impasse.
The airline announced it has finalized contingency plans to mitigate customer disruption in the event of a labour strike or lockout, which would affect more than 110,000 daily passengers across its global network.
As the Sept. 15 deadline approaches, Air Canada is preparing for a full shutdown of operations, with flights being progressively canceled over a three-day period.
