Air Canada plans to resume flights today after the Canadian Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) acted on a directive from The Honourable Patty Hajdu, the Federal Minister of Employment, Workforce Development and Disability Inclusion,

TORONTO, ON — Air Canada said it plans to resume flights on Sunday after the Canadian government intervened and forced the airline and its striking flight attendants back to work and into arbitration. The strike stranded more than 100,000 travelers around the world during the peak summer travel season.

More than 10,000 Air Canada flight attendants who went on strike early Saturday will be ordered to return to work by the Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB), according to a Saturday announcement by Canadian Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu.
