Business groups urge Ottawa to prevent Air Canada pilots strikeOTTAWA - Around 100 business groups on Wednesday urged Ottawa to prevent a strike by Air Canada pilots, saying a stoppage would disrupt supply chains and spoil Canada's reputation as a reliable partner.

"The federal government needs to take decisive action. The impacts of a labor disruption at Air Canada will ripple throughout the economy," they said. Air Canada and its low-cost subsidiary, Air Canada Rouge, together operate nearly 670 flights per day. A shutdown could affect 110,000 passengers daily.
