Air Canada ends contract with Israeli arms firm
Air Canada has ended a maintenance contract with the arms maker Israel Aerospace Industries, activist groups have announced.
The Canadian BDS Coalition, which supports the Palestinian-led campaign for boycott, divestment and sanctions, said on Sunday it had been informed by Air Canada management “that the five-year, multi-million dollar contract with Israel Aerospace Industries Bedek Group for heavy maintenance on Air Canada Boeing 767 jets was terminated in ‘early 2017,’ with two years remaining.”
The contract, signed in 2014, was reportedly worth tens of millions of dollars.
