Over 10,000 Air Canada flight attendants plan to strike on Saturday over stalled contract talks, threatening major travel disruptions across Canada.

Air Canada has insisted a proportion of cabin crew will earn C$90,000 (£48,100) a year by 2027 as it made a last-ditch effort to avert strike action. The airline suggested 20% would receive that level of salary and senior flight attendants annual pay would reach C$87,000 (£46,500).

Attendants union says there is still time to reach an agreement, as airline warns 100,000 passengers affected by Friday.
