Air Canada passengers whose travel plans were disrupted during the recent strike by flight attendants are set to get some relief for their out-of-pocket expenses.

On Thursday, Air Canada announced it will cover "reasonable" expenses for hotels, meals and transport costs incurred by passengers who endured flight delays and cancellations between Aug. 15 and Aug. 23.

"We deeply apologize," Air Canada COO Mark Nasr said in a statement. "And we're committed to making things right for all customers."

The announcement comes one day after Air Canada said it would reimburse passengers who booked travel on other airlines, or took another mode of transport after their flights were cancelled due to the strike.
