CP NewsAlert: Air Canada says no deal with flight attendants until flights resume

By Canadian Press on August 18, 2025.

TORONTO — Air Canada says its flight attendants need to return to work before the airline can push on with negotiations, even as the union says it won’t end its now unlawful strike until a deal is reached at the bargaining table.

Air Canada chief operating officer Mark Nasr says the airline is ready to work on an industry-leading deal, but can’t do that while planes are grounded.

More coming.
