Air Canada Express flights will remain as they are operated by Jazz and PAL Airlines, third-party carriers.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Air Canada is currently in negotiations with the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA), but for now, flights are operating as scheduled.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">To accommodate travellers concerned about potential disruptions, Air Canada has introduced a flexible booking policy which you should consider if you really have to be somewhere during those dates.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li1\">If you purchased your ticket up to Septembre 9, 2024, for <strong>travel between September 15 and 23, 2024<\/strong>, you can change your flight date without fees to a date between <strong>September 9-14<\/strong> or <strong>September 24-November 30, 2024<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Customers may cancel their flight and retain the residual value on a future travel credit. Refunds will be available according to fare rules for those with refundable tickets; however, refunds are not available for non-refundable tickets since flights are still operating as normal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\">It&#8217;s important to note that Air Canada Express carriers, Jazz and PAL Airlines, are not involved in these negotiations, so their operations remain unaffected. Additionally, a strike mandate does not automatically mean a strike will occur. Any potential disruption would not happen before mid-September at the earliest, as a strike can only occur after the current conciliation period and a subsequent 21-day reflection period.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">For those looking to adjust their travel plans as a precaution, the goodwill policy applies only to flights operated by Air Canada, Air Canada Rouge, or Air Canada Express and not partners flights.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;388262&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_rounded&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p>While strikes are (kind of) common in Europe, an <strong>Air Canada pilots&#8217; strike<\/strong>, represented by the Air Line Pilots Association, is looming over Canadian passengers, and we may not be familiar with our rights if it happens.
