Air Canada will resume flight operations on the evening of the 17th

Air Canada announced in a statement on the 17th local time that it plans to resume flight operations that evening. Since Air Canada implemented a flight suspension and halted operations at 1:30 AM on August 16, both aircraft and crew members need to be rescheduled. The first batch of flights to be resumed by Air Canada will take off on the evening of the 17th, but the airline expects it will take several days to return to normal operations. Over the next seven to ten days, some flights will still be canceled until the flight schedule is reestablished
