The airline said on Tuesday that it plans to resume flights by the evening, but warned that it could take several days before operations return to normal.

Air Canada and the union resumed talks late Monday evening, after flight attendants defied a back-to-work order from the government that deemed their strike unlawful.

The two sides then worked to resolve the key areas where they had deadlocked - pay and hours. The full terms of the deal, which still needs to be ratified by union members, have not been disclosed, but the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) said it achieves "transformational change" for workers and the industry.

It also advised its members to "fully co-operate with the resumption of operations."
