Air Canada cuts ‘around 1%’ of its workforce: spokesperson
- On Thursday, Air Canada is reducing non-union management positions, cutting approximately one per cent of staff, about 400 people.
- Following a three-day strike in August by more than 10,000 flight attendants that caused over 3,000 cancellations, Air Canada said the job action cost it $375 million, prompting layoffs of about 400 management roles.
- The announcement coincided with news that Air Canada will add four new daily flights to U.S. destinations from Toronto's Billy Bishop airport, while Christophe Hennebelle declined to clarify the job cut method.
- Company officials said the reductions would not have any impact on daily operations and that Air Canada regularly reviews resources and processes to support business operations and customers.
- About two months after the August strike, the country's biggest airline said spokeswoman Angela Mah called the move a `difficult decision` amid workforce cuts.
