About 200 Air Canada flights are to the U.S., according to The Wall Street Journal. The strike comes as Canadians increasingly avoid the United States because of diplomatic tensions between the neighbors. With more Canadians taking vacations at home, Air Canada has seen extra pressure on domestic routes.
The Canadian carrier said it expects to call off 500 flights by the end of Friday. Air Canada said it was suspending its schedule and trying to get passengers booked with other airlines to limit disruptions.
