Air Canada will cover the direct costs for users affected by the cabin crew strike.
Normally, except for flights to and from countries/regions with consumer protection such as the EU and the UK, costs due to cancellations or delays caused by strikes are exempted in many countries.
As an exception, those affected between August 15 and 23 will be reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses such as accommodation, meals, and necessary transportation costs. Receipts must be attached and submitted via the website. It may take up to 6 weeks to process.
All flights have resumed operations, and it is expected that all routes will be operational again by August 22. The number of rebooked passengers has already exceeded 140,000.
