Air Canada has been hit by a court ruling following a lawsuit from ex-maintenance workers.

A Quebec Superior Court ruling could mean the airline would have to pay over $100 million in compensation to maintenance centre workers who lost their jobs more than a decade ago.

In 2022, a court ruled the company violated federal law by failing to keep three centres operational, when the contractor that ran them shut down in 2012.

The compensation would cover a range of damages for the 2,200 employees who lost their jobs.

Air Canada is appealing the decision.
