Aug. 14 (UPI) -- Air Canada has canceled most of its flights over the next few days to prepare for a strike by flight attendants.
It issued a 72-hour lockout notice ahead of the strike by the Canadian Union of Public Employees, which represents 10,000 flight attendants.
"To provide customers certainty, Air Canada will begin a phased wind down of most of its operations to be completed over the next three days," the airline said in a statement. "The airline has also sought government-directed arbitration to resolve the situation."
The airline warned that some customers could be stranded.
