In an interview with Reuters, Rousseau blamed the impasse on a gap between the airline’s offer and its union’s demands, but did not share any plans to break the deadlock.
“That’s a good offer from our perspective,“ Rousseau said. “And it addresses many of the issues that we talk about, if not all the issues.”
Earlier on Monday, the company suspended its third-quarter and full-year 2025 guidance, citing the labor disruption.
Air Canada shares closed down 3%.
The union has said Air Canada’s offer only accounts for 17.2% in higher wages over four years, leaving its younger, entry-level workers struggling against inflation.
Rousseau, however, said the company’s offer would “go a long way” in addressing those issues.
The third day of a strike by more than 10,000 flight attendants has stranded passengers of the airline, which normally carries 130,000 people daily and is part of the global Star Alliance of airlines.
He said the airline would take care of flight attendants who traveled abroad ahead of the strike and now face difficulties returning.
Rousseau stressed he was the right person to lead the company through the labor dispute.
