In a dramatic turn of events, Air Canada, one of North America’s leading airlines, is bracing for significant disruptions as its flight attendants’ union, the Air Canada Component of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), has issued a 72-hour strike notice.
With over 10,000 flight attendants from Air Canada and its low-cost subsidiary, Air Canada Rouge, poised to walk off the job starting Saturday, August 16, 2025, the airline has announced it will begin cancelling flights as early as Thursday, August 14.
This looming strike threatens to throw a wrench into the travel plans of thousands of passengers during a peak travel season, sparking widespread concern and uncertainty.
As tensions escalate between Air Canada and its workforce, the airline has called on the Canadian federal government to intervene, requesting binding arbitration to resolve the dispute.
