Air Canada Faces Potential Strike and Flight Disruptions Next Week

Air Canada faces a potential work stoppage next week, risking flight cancellations and disruptions to cargo services.

The airline's pilots, represented by the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA), are in a standoff over wage negotiations, pushing for parity with their American counterparts. In August, 98% of the union members voted for a strike.

Air Canada is urging the government to mandate arbitration, a controversial measure to force a resolution. Travelers remain on edge as a 72-hour notice for a strike could be issued as soon as September 15. The airline has already stopped accepting certain cargo in anticipation and is rerouting aircraft for potential disruptions.

Stay tuned for updates.
