Air Canada Disruption Continues After Union Defies Return-to-Work Order

Travellers face widespread cancellations with limited recourse for out-of-pocket costs under existing passenger protection rules.

Urban Retreat Derma Spa, co-owned by Michelle and Dave Gibeault, is Winnipeg’s largest skincare boutique, offering personalized, results-driven treatments and advanced technology for all skin types, making it a go-to spot for fall recovery and renewal.

26 Market, a beloved stationery and lifestyle shop in Winnipeg’s Exchange District, has grown from a tiny closet-sized space into a thriving community hub for paper, pens, and design-driven goods, celebrating its fifth anniversary this fall.
Phyllis Sutherland, owner of Ponderosa Pines Campground near the Hopewell Rocks, said her campground has not seen cancellations because of provincial restrictions on fires and forest activity, but she has heard of other campgrounds seeing cancelled site reservations.

Overview

  • The flight attendants’ union rejected a Canada Industrial Relations Board order to resume work by 2 p.m. ET on Sunday.
  • Air Canada suspended its planned restart and cancelled about 240 Sunday flights, with its booking page still showing all flights grounded until further notice.
  • Affected passengers are entitled only to full refunds or fee-free rebookings under Canada’s passenger protection regulations, with no compensation for incidental expenses from the labour action.
  • The airline has said flights will begin to resume Monday evening but cautioned that it could take several days to fully restore operations.
  • Separately, China’s tariffs on Canadian canola and Canada’s steep duties on Chinese electric vehicles are heightening trade frictions, while contested judicial rulings that reduce sentences for non-citizens have sparked calls for legislative reform.
