Air Canada has been forced to cancel nearly 2,600 flights as striking flight attendants refuse to return to work.

Air Canada announces a surprising new policy to compensate passengers after a cabin crew strike grounds hundreds of flights. The airline promises to cover transportation costs, but details are scarce.

Two possible class-action lawsuits by Air Canada passengers affected by the airline’s flight attendant strike were submitted in court in Montreal Monday. Both Air Canada and the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) are named as defendants in the legal motions.
