Those whose flights are cancelled are strongly advised not to go to the airport unless they have a confirmed booking on a flight by another carrier.\n \n\n In response to a labour disruption by the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) that led to a strike on August\n \n\n 16, Air Canada has been cancelling flights on a rolling basis.
