We have had many inquiries from within the membership about the resumption of operations to Tel Aviv.  We have had discussions with the company about the importance of regular updates on this issue as it is a high priority for us.  Here is what we currently know regarding a potential return to Tel Aviv.

We have been briefed by Corporate Health and Safety, along with our Component Health and Safety Committee on the work that has been done with Corporate Security and numerous other agencies, representatives, and organisations. We have been very vocal about our concerns and have requested a thorough understanding of all facets of this situation. We will be reviewing further with the company our concerns which include onboard security, safety and security at destination, transportation, and accommodation reassurances.

We are committed to ensuring the best possible process for the analysis and evaluation of this destination. We feel that Air Canada shares our perspective on the importance of a comprehensive review.  We will continue to review and evaluate this and promise to update you as we know more.

In solidarity,

Today, we join the global community in celebrating International Women’s Day, a day dedicated to honoring the achievements of women and advocating for gender equality worldwide. This year’s theme, “Inspire Inclusion,” urges us to reflect on the importance of creating environments where all women feel valued, respected, and empowered.

Inclusion is not just about inviting women to the table; it’s about ensuring that their voices are heard, their contributions are recognized, and their rights are protected. It’s about breaking down barriers and stereotypes, challenging bias and discrimination, and creating opportunities for women from all walks of life.

As we celebrate International Women’s Day, let us reaffirm our commitment to fostering a culture of inclusion in our organization and beyond. Let us strive to create workplaces, communities, and societies where diversity is celebrated, where everyone has equal access to opportunities, and where women can thrive and succeed on their own terms.

Today, we honor the trailblazing women who have paved the way for progress and inspire us to keep pushing for change. We recognize the contributions of women from all backgrounds, experiences, and identities, and we stand in solidarity with those who continue to fight for equality and justice.

Let us use this day as a catalyst for action, to inspire inclusion in all aspects of our lives and to build a future where every woman and girl can reach her full potential, free from discrimination and prejudice.

Happy International Women’s Day!

In solidarity,
