Hey fam! ✈️ Air Canada just announced its hitting the skies again after its flight attendants union agreed to return to work.
Heres the scoop: Tens of thousands of flight attendants under the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) will start clocking in right away, so Air Canada and Air Canada Rouge can slowly bring flights back online. However, its not an overnight fixfull operations could take up to 7-10 days to smooth out the schedule.
Air Canada President and CEO Michael Rousseau says, "Restarting a major carrier is a complex undertaking. Full restoration may require a week or more." Translation? Some flights may still be canceled in the next week as things stabilize.
With around 130,000 passengers a day usually flying with Air Canada, this deal brings major relief. 🙌 After eight months of back-and-forth on pay, pensions, benefits, and rest periods, both sides finally found common ground.
What this means for you: If youve been eyeing tickets from Delhi, Dhaka, Kuala Lumpur, or Bangkok to Toronto, Vancouver, or beyond, keep an eye on your booking app and get ready to reconnect with friends, fam, or just chase that maple syrup vibe! 🍁
Stay tuned, pack smart, and happy travels! 🌍💼
