Air Canada passengers must prepare for possible flight cancellations starting September 15, 2024.
The reason for this is an impending strike by 5.200 pilots who are demanding higher salaries. The airline rejects these demands as "excessive" and plans to shut down flight operations in an orderly manner in advance of the strike. Air Canada carries around 110.000 passengers a day, with some of its traffic being handled by Air Canada Express, which would not be affected by the strike. As a partner of Lufthansa, a strike could also have an indirect impact on transatlantic air traffic.
