Aug 20 (Reuters) - Air Canada ( ACDVF ) is set to resume its
flight services on Wednesday, after a nearly four-day strike by
its unionized flight attendants left more than 500,000
passengers stranded.
"While the restart of our operations will begin immediately,
we expect it will take several days before our operations return
to normal," the airline said.
The flight attendants' union and the airline had on Tuesday
reached a tentative deal, but its details have not been
disclosed. The union said unpaid work was over.
Flight attendants had walked off the job on Saturday after
contract talks with the airline collapsed. They had pushed for
compensation for duties such as boarding passengers.
The airline is yet to reinstate its third-quarter and
full-year profit outlook, which were withdrawn due to the
strike.
The proposed wage hikes at Air Canada ( ACDVF ) would mean up to C$140
million in incremental costs, according to Canaccord Genuity
analyst Matthew Lee.
