According to the Air Canada component of the Canadian Public Service Union, the negotiations that resumed on Monday evening with a mediator allowed both parties to conclude an agreement shortly after 4 am on Tuesday morning.
In his message published on social networks, the union has not provided details on the content of the agreement in principle, which he will submit to his members during virtual meetings.
The union has added that it must indicate to its members that they are “required to fully cooperate with the resumption of operations” from Air Canada.
The conclusion of this agreement in principle – and the announcement of the end of the strike – will be welcomed with relief by the many travelers who have seen their plans are upset since the start of the work stoppage on Saturday.
Recovery of flights
Air Canada said Air Canada and Red Air Canada flights will resume “evening” on Tuesday, but warned that the impacts of the work conflict could be felt to be “seven to ten days”.
Air Canada also did not comment on the content of the agreement in principle, but stressed that, “during any ratification or depending on the enforceable arbitration process, a strike or a lockout is not possible, which means that customers can plan, reserve and travel with Air Canada with confidence”.
