Air Canada says it will resume some flights on Monday that were suspended due to its flight attendants going on strike, despite their union saying job action continues.
It’s not yet clear how that will work, with flight attendants challenging a back-to-work order.

“Approximately 240 flights scheduled to operate beginning this afternoon (Sunday) have now been cancelled,” the company wrote.
“The airline will resume flights as of Monday evening.”
