Air Canada Express flights continue uninterrupted during flight attendants' strike

Air Canada has confirmed that Air Canada Express flights operated by its regional partners, Jazz Aviation LP and Provincial Airlines (PAL), are continuing to operate as scheduled. Air Canada Express serves as the regional brand of Canada's largest airline, Air Canada, connecting smaller communities to Air Canada's extensive domestic and international network.

Air Canada announced on Saturday that all its flights, and Air Canada Rouge, remain suspended pending the outcome of negotiations with flight attendants who are on strike. In the meantime, Air Canada Express Jazz and PAL flights continue to operate.

Jazz Aviation LP, operating as Jazz, is Air Canada's largest regional partner, providing service to a wide range of destinations across Canada and the United States. Provincial Airlines also plays a crucial role in the Air Canada Express network, particularly serving Eastern Canada.

Customers whose flights are cancelled are being notified of the cancellations and offered options that include a full refund, a future travel credit, or rebooking on another airline. Those whose flights are cancelled are strongly advised not to go to the airport unless they have a confirmed booking on a flight by another carrier.

“At present, all flights by Air Canada and Air Canada Rouge are cancelled until the afternoon of Aug. 17,” the airline said in a press statement on Saturday.
