✈ Air Canada Issues 72-Hour Lockout Notice to CUPE — What UK Travellers Need to Know

At Tranzitt Taxi Service UK, we believe in keeping our passengers informed about travel developments that could affect their journeys. Recently, Air Canada has issued a 72-hour lockout notice to the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), which represents thousands of the airline’s flight attendants. This comes amid an ongoing labour dispute, raising concerns about potential flight delays or cancellations.

What’s Happening?

Air Canada and CUPE have been in negotiations over pay, working conditions, and scheduling. As no agreement has been reached, the airline has issued a formal 72-hour lockout notice. This means that — unless a last-minute resolution is found — services could be disrupted within the coming days.

How Could This Affect UK Passengers?

If you’re travelling from the UK to Canada or connecting through Canadian airports, you may face:

• Flight delays or cancellations
• Changes to departure times
• Reduced in-flight service

For passengers flying from London Heathrow, Manchester, Edinburgh, or other UK airports, it’s crucial to monitor your booking closely and stay in contact with your airline.
