Air Canada is gradually restarting its operations after agreeing to mediation with 10,000 flight attendants, members of the Canadian Union of Public Employees. Discussions were begun on the basis that the union commit to have the airline’s 10,000 flight attendants immediately return to work, after Air Canada and Air Canada Rouge flights were grounded on August 16.
The first flights are scheduled for the evening of August 19, but return to full, regular service may require seven-to-ten days as aircraft and crew are out of position. Some flights will be cancelled over the next seven to ten days until the schedule is stabilized.
