Air Canada announced it will suspend operations immediately after more than 10,000 of its flight attendants went on strike in the middle of peak travel season.
Staff staged a walkout at around 1 p.m. Eastern time Saturday, with the airline saying it would begin locking strike participants out of any airports where it is currently providing services, NPR reports.
The outlet added that the shutdown will disrupt travel for roughly 130,000 passengers each day the strike goes on, with an estimated 25,000 Canadians now stranded abroad.
