The steps are vital in getting business back to normal at Air Canada. Just recently, Air Canada declared its plans to return to Bangkok after 6 years.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a report made by Michael Rousseau, President and Chief Executive Officer of Air Canada, Mr. Rousseau told, “At Air Canada, we know every travel is important, even more so today as many are flying for the first time in years to see loved ones or take an eagerly anticipated holiday. We are decided not to disappoint and have been long preparing for a journey surge this summer, including coordinating with our industry partners.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The COVID-19 pandemic hit Air Canada <\/a>hard. During the height of the pandemic, Air Canada <\/a>was forced to lay off employees. This decision was not taken lightly. In January 2021, Air Canada laid off 1,700 of its employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Canada’s largest airline declared this week that it had recalled all of its employees who were previously left unemployed. Currently, Air Canada has 32,000 workers, versus around 33,000 before the pandemic, while working around 80 percent of its June 2019 schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the recall of workers, Air Canada has hired over 2,000 staff to help customers on the ground with their queries. Workers have been reassigned from other bases to augment specific airports, including the cross-utilization of cargo workers to assist with airport passenger operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Air Canada has set out many vital steps to aid the recovery. Included in the plan is its new Self-Service Re-accommodation tools, which will allow customers who have schedule changes, delays, or revocations to demand a refund if eligible or rebook their itineraries in a few minutes using Air Canada’s mobile app or website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
