Air Canada suspends all operations as flight attendants go on strike

Air Canada Strike: Air Canada suspended all operations after over 10,000 flight attendants went on strike due to unresolved contract negotiations, marking the first strike by flight attendants since 1985. The union rejected the airline's request for government-directed arbitration, leading to a complete shutdown affecting approximately 130,000 passengers daily.

Impact on Passengers: The strike has left many travelers stranded, with reports of canceled flights and limited rebooking options as airlines are already at capacity during the summer travel peak. Affected customers can request refunds, but the timeline for resuming operations remains uncertain, potentially taking up to a week once a deal is reached.
