More than 10,000 Air Canada flight attendants who went on strike early Saturday will be ordered to return to work by the Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB), according to a Saturday announcement by Canadian Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu.

Air Canada said Sunday it has suspended plans to resume limited flying on Sunday evening after its flight attendants defied a government back-to-work order.
