Air Canada said it will gradually begin restarting its operations after strike action grounded its flights since August 16. It said the first flights are scheduled for Tuesday evening, but that it could take seven to ten days to restore its full service, and that some flights will be cancelled during that period.

Mireille Abewe said she’d love to be anywhere in Canada right now, as her vacation in France has turned into a sleepless nightmare.

“I think it’s disgusting the other airlines are now gouging customers who are just trying to get home.”
