Air Canada expects cargo disruption with any strike shutdown (From AirCargoNews)

Air Canada [Tuesday] said that cargo operations are under threat as it is “finalising contingency plans to suspend most of its operations” in the face of possible industrial action.

The airline said that unless a pay agreement is reached with the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) union – representing more than 5,200 pilots at Air Canada and Air Canada Rouge, from September 15, operations could be impacted by a 72-hour strike or lock out notice and this would trigger the carrier’s three-day wind down plan, with flights progressively cancelled over three days.  For more info, please go to https://www.aircargonews.net/airlines/air-canada-expects-cargo-disruption-with-any-strike-shutdown/
