Air Canada operations to proceed despite planned strike action
by flight attendants
(Toronto, October 11, 2011)… The union representing Air Canada's 6,800 flight attendants has given notice that it will begin a strike at 00:01 a.m. ET Thursday, October 13, 2011. If an agreement is not reached by that deadline, Air Canada will implement a partial schedule including Air Canada Express flights operated by its regional partner airlines (Jazz Air, Sky Regional Airlines, Air Georgian and EVAS Air).
Regularly scheduled Air Canada Express service between Toronto City Centre and Montreal Trudeau airport, as well as codeshare flights operated by Star Alliance partner airlines on international and U.S. transborder routes, would remain unaffected.
We will continue to monitor this situation and advise accordingly.
For more information, please call (905) 882-4880 David Lychek, Manager – Ocean & Air Services.
