Air Canada has cut approximately 400 management jobs, representing about 1% of its workforce, following a flight attendant strike in August.
The strike, which involved over 10,000 flight attendants, resulted in more than 3,000 flight cancellations and cost the airline $375 million.
“Following an extensive review, we made the difficult decision to reduce some non-unionized management positions, affecting one per cent of our total staff,”
spokeswoman Angela Mah said in an email. The cuts will not affect day-to-day operations at the country’s biggest airline.
The move comes as the airline adjusts its finances after the strike, prompting a revision of its adjusted earnings forecast for the year to $3 billion.
