Air Canada CEO Michael Rousseau says he will step down in the third quarter of 2026, following a period of renewed attention on the airline.
The announcement comes after a fatal runway collision involving an Air Canada regional jet at LaGuardia Airport, and public reaction to a tribute message released by the airline.
Criticism focused in part on how the message was delivered, particularly among French-speaking audiences in Canada.
