A massive strike at Air Canada has paralyzed the nation’s largest airline, forcing the cancellation of hundreds of flights and leaving tens of thousands of passengers stranded at airports across the globe.
Travel chaos erupted on Friday as Air Canada workers launched a strike, triggering the cancellation of hundreds of flights and grinding the airline’s operations to a halt.
Passengers reported scenes of confusion and frustration at major airports, with long lines, missed connections, and no clear answers on when flights will resume. The disruption quickly spread beyond Canada’s borders, impacting international routes and stranding travelers worldwide.
The strike marks one of the most severe labor disputes in the airline’s history, coming at the peak of the busy summer travel season. Industry insiders warn the stoppage could cause ripple effects across North America’s aviation sector.
Air Canada has yet to announce when operations may return to normal, as negotiations with union leaders remain deadlocked. For now, the skies above Canada remain eerily quiet.
