The provincial government says it has offered Air Canada incentives to reopen its flight attendant base in Winnipeg.
They include a cut in the aviation fuel tax.
But Premier Gary Doer says the response from the airline has been less than encouraging.
The province also is going to court to force Air Canada to reopen the base.
In July Air Canada announced plans to close down its flight attendant base in Winnipeg. Its 145 employees were slated to be laid off or transferred to another region.
The Manitoba government's position is that Air Canada's decision to close the Winnipeg flight attendant base is in breach of the federal Air Canada Public Participation Act.
