flag Canadian airline strikes may continue into 2026 despite government intervention.

flag Airline labour tensions in Canada are expected to persist into 2026, with potential strikes looming from WestJet and Air Transat pilots, and Porter Airlines dispatchers, following recent walkouts by Air Canada and WestJet workers. flag Expiring contracts, rising living costs, and demands to match higher U.S. pay have fueled disputes, prompting the federal government to issue eight back-to-work directives since June 2024, using binding arbitration. flag While unions have secured major pay increases, critics say government intervention undermines bargaining. flag Though no major strikes are expected early in 2026 due to legal cooling-off periods, ongoing negotiations and unresolved issues pose continued risks to air travel.
