Air Canada has grounded all flights as over 10,000 cabin staff began a strike seeking higher salaries and pay for ground work, affecting an estimated 130,000 passengers daily. The airline has cancelled hundreds of flights and advised customers not to go to the airport unless flying with other carriers.

• Over 500 flights are affected daily, with 623 flights cancelled by Friday night, impacting more than 100,000 passengers.
• The Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), representing flight attendants, rejected Air Canada's offer of a 38% total compensation increase over four years, calling it "below inflation" and insufficient.
• The strike commenced at 00:58 ET (04:58 GMT) on Saturday, following a 99.7% strike mandate from union members earlier this month.
