The RCMP alleges an Air Canada employee working in the baggage room had placed luggage tags with the unsuspecting passengers' names on the suitcases that contained the cannabis.

The Air Line Pilots Association stated that the deaths of the two young aviators have shaken up the industry, highlighting the impact of such tragedies on aviation professionals.

Investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said that they retrieved the plane's cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder, both of which will help reconstruct the events that led up to the collision.

Air Canada has successfully overturned a Canadian Transportation Agency (CTA) decision requiring the airline to pay a passenger $2,079 for delayed baggage. After an 11-month court battle launched by Air Canada, Federal Court Justice Michael Manson ruled that a CTA officer's 2024 decision was unreasonable. The matter has been sent back to the CTA, Canada's transport regulator, for a new officer to reassess the compensation claim.

Air Canada will offer four daily round-trip flights to New York LaGuardia starting in March 2026, it said in a Thursday news release. Then, over the summer, the airline says it will introduce three daily flights to Boston Logan, two to Chicago O'Hare and one to Washington Dulles. Porter Airlines, headquartered at Billy Bishop, already services the four American cities. The new Air Canada routes mark an escalation in the emerging rivalry between Porter and the flag carrier.

A tentative agreement has been reached to end the contract dispute between flight attendants and Air Canada after nine hours of mediator-assisted talks initiated on Monday evening.

Under Canada's Air Passenger Protection Regulations (APPR), if your flight is cancelled due to a labour disruption, airlines must offer you a choice between a cash refund or a rebooked flight.

A complete shutdown of Air Canada is looming if the union representing the flight attendants and the airline fail to reach an agreement by early Saturday.
