OTTAWA --
If you’re holding on to an Air Canada voucher because of a flight cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, you may be one step closer to getting a refund.
But the prospects of a refund are still up in the air.
Unifor president Jerry Dias says Air Canada has agreed to refund passengers for cancelled or delayed flights during the COVID-19 pandemic in exchange for a federal government bailout.
Unifor also represents airline workers.
"The airline industry today is in very, very bad shape," Dias told CTV’s Newschannel Thursday, "The federal government was talking about our economy, about the pandemic; we’re talking about build back better, but you can’t have a build back better strategy if you don’t have a national airline."
