Air Canada's unionized flight attendants walked off the job early on Saturday morning after contract talks with the country's largest carrier stalled, in a move that could disrupt travel plans for more than 100,

Over 10,000 Air Canada flight attendants plan to strike on Saturday over stalled contract talks, threatening major travel disruptions across Canada.

Air Canada has insisted a proportion of cabin crew will earn C$90,000 (£48,100) a year by 2027 as it made a last-ditch effort to avert strike action. The airline suggested 20% would receive that level of salary and senior flight attendants annual pay would reach C$87,000 (£46,500).
