The union representing Air Canada flight attendants issued the company with a 72-hour strike notice on August 13, 2025, with the strike potentially beginning on Saturday, August 16, 2025. 
<h2>How the Strike Affects Importers&nbsp;</h2>
Air Canada will gradually suspend flights in preparation for the potential strike. The first wave of flight cancellations is expected to begin Thursday, August 14, with further disruptions on Friday. &nbsp;
