Air Canada cancels 154 flights a day this summer amid 'unprecedented and unforeseen strains'

“Despite detailed and careful planning, the largest and fastest scale of hiring in our history, as well as investments in aircraft and equipment, it is now clear that Air Canada’s operations too have been disrupted by the industry’s complex and unavoidable challenges,” Rousseau said.

Since provincial governments across the country began lifting pandemic-era restrictions, the aviation industry has been hit by heavy demand that’s left airlines and airports unable to keep up. Reports of long passenger lineups at airport security; insufficient staff to help with boarding and de-boarding; and flight delays or cancellations have plagued the industry for the past three months.

International flights will not be impacted, the airline said, but rather four routes will be temporarily be suspended this summer. They include between Montreal and the cities of Baltimore and Kelowna, and one between Toronto to Fort McMurray.

Is Air Canada cancelling flights scheduled for August? No. They *say* it's cancelled and refund (or credit) the amount you paid. Then, they post basically the same flight at a much higher price.

Is it Canadian security's fault, or airport staff?

They only want elite travelling private class planes/jets while taxing those who will no longer be able to fly for travel at all government endallmandates TrudeauDictatorship whowillsaveyou GreatReset wakeup

Unforeseen jabbity jab side effects?

RitaJune69 Wow!

They fired the unvaxxed pilots and support staff. Actions have consequences.

Printing billions of dollars diluting our currency pool to hand to airlines, primarily Air Canada (who used it to hand out $10m bonuses) didn't solve the problem? theJagmeetSingh w/ your superior economic anointment, why is this so? Perhaps $1K flyer vouchers would solve this?

How could this be 'unforseen'? We've been telling you for 2 years, firing emoyess over a medical decision was not going to end well and would be unprecedented hell. You made this fucking bed, sleep in it assholes.

Chairman Blackface’s fingerprints: “The key factor behind flight cancellations is not AC’s shortage of labour, unlike some U.S. carriers, but rather shortage of airport workers, including security and customs officers.”

And yet “we stay silent”

Seems like a good idea after the month they've had.

This is a big fat lie. The government is hiding behind excuses to CYA.

All in the Klaus Schwab 'Great Reset' playbook, and perfectly implemented by his lacky, JustinTrudeau

Libtard mismanagement, firing unvaccinated employees. But the best part is they got a $4.7B bailout less than year ago

Who cares?

simonchase123 The financial losses will be staggering. This is all on the government imposed restrictions and mandates. Obviously, it is easy to mandate stuff without considering the long-term impact. Our officials are truly inept.

No lockdowns. No mandates

With the cost of fuel, any plane that is not full risks cancellation.

Amazing how all of a sudden, they can't get air travel right after decades of getting it right. Almost like this is planned to usher in Traveler identity and Digital ID to help 'solve' this 'crisis'. Always advancing the pre-planned agenda.

ThanksTrudeau

When I saw the pic above, I saw the backside of a big black dog that went through the window and the front side was cut off

Great work JustinTrudeau and your staff! If you dig deep on why this is happening with staff shortages it goes back to government. Keep handing out free money to everyone. why work?

The last … thing Omar did for air travel..

Soon we'll have to start making trips in the 'metaverse'. 🥴

You mean to say designed strains by JustinTrudeau

Castro junior did this

Ok groomer

It was very foreseen, JustinTrudeau did this

It appears Air Canada is falling on the Transport Minister’s sword.

All on Trudeau and his stubborn vindictiveness. End all mandates.

Trudeau bought and paid for media 👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼right there folks!

This is terrible if you don’t realize the government doesn’t want people to fly. The garbage stench coming from this country gets stronger every day.

You will own nothing, eat bugs, go nowhere and be happy TheGreatReset TrudeauNeedsToBeGone TrudeauIsDestroyingCanada

I guess releasing staff that didn't 'choose' the forced mandate wasn't such a smart idea eh? This is on the Liberal government, and anyone who isn't a partisan political hack can see this. TrudeauWorstPMEver

How long before they are begging for taxpayer bailouts.

Rumoured that many UK and EU travel agents are steering passengers away from Air Canada bookings due to bad press and many complaints ..

You will own nothing and you will be happy. You will stay home and you will be happy.

Unforseen? Ya this was PLANNED

Unforseen? No, this is a deliberate grounding of our society. The sooner you all realize he's turned Canada into a National Jonestown, the sooner we remove this cult leader and take our lives back. It's really only the GTA that likes this guy

AirCanada has been incompetent for years. Now they are being paid by JustinTrudeau to do it.

'Unforseen' Lol

Totally foreseen. Inept

Liberal government mismanagement^

Airline president blames 'unprecedented and unforeseen strains on all aspects of the global aviation system.'

People already abroad now need to scramble to get back home? Too little, too late. Air Canada is the worst airline ever and has only survived as long as it has because of its' long-time,virtual monopoly on air travel in Canada.

Air Canada announces ‘meaningful reductions’ to July and August flight schedules“To bring about the level of operational stability we need, with reluctance, we are now making meaningful reductions to our schedule in July and August in order to reduce passenger volumes and flows to a level we believe the air transport system can accommodate,” said an email from the airline’s CEO to customers Wednesday night. They couldn’t keep up. Makes sense that they finally see this. The rest of the world can’t either - it’s not a Canadian phenomenon much as the anti Trudeau crowd want to anoint him with the power to mess up global airports. Canada is not a serious country Might as well shut down permanently. Useless airline.
