Air Canada flights will resume Tuesday evening, it said. Details were sparse on the tentative deal between the company and its flight attendants union, CUPE.

Air Canada’s contract offer to its 10,500 flight attendants includes payment for work done before the plane is in motion, a response to a major complaint by employees of the country’s biggest airline.
