Air Canada is cutting roughly 400 management positions, a move it says follows a major financial blow stemming from the flight attendants’ strike earlier this year, Global News reported.
The airline confirmed the reduction amounts to about one percent of its total workforce.

The restructuring comes two months after a three-day strike by more than 10,000 flight attendants in August that forced the cancellation of over 3,000 flights and temporarily shut down operations.
In its latest third-quarter financial results, Air Canada said the job action cost the company approximately $375 million, prompting it to revise its adjusted annual earnings forecast downward by that same amount to $3 billion.

According to reports, the financial hit was primarily driven by customer refunds and compensation, as well as a slowdown in bookings during and immediately after the strike.
Air Canada has not yet detailed which departments will be affected by the cuts.
