Air Canada has resumed operations following a strike by flight attendants, providing relief for many passengers at Toronto's Pearson International Airport. A tentative agreement was reached by CUPE, representing over 10,000 flight attendants, ending the work stoppage that had begun on Saturday. While operations are restarting, it may take time for normalcy to return as some flights could be cancelled in the coming days until the schedule stabilizes. However, for some like Arianna Anderson, travel plans are already disrupted due to cancellations prior to the agreement.
"Good news overall, and hopefully everyone can just get to where they need to go," said Reginald Tull, who is trying to travel to Barbados for business. "It's been pretty stressful not knowing what's going on."
Durham, Ont. resident Arianna Anderson was supposed to be on a 10-day Girl Guide trip in the UK this week. It was cancelled because they weren't able to fly out on Friday as originally planned. "All of us were so excited to go, and all of us were crushed when it was cancelled," said Anderson, 17.
In a social media post Tuesday morning, Pearson advised passengers to check their flight status before heading to the airport, "as some flights may be cancelled over the next seven to ten days until the airline's schedule stabilizes."
To get to Pearson in time, he took a bus from Winnipeg after his domestic Air Canada flight was cancelled. "It took four buses and three transfers, 36 hours of long journey.
