Air Canada’s parent company ACE Aviation Holdings Inc said that the troubled airline would survive.

“I firmly believe Air Canada will survive,” said Robert Milton, CEO of ACE, at the annual International Air Transport Authority’s general meeting. “But it’s a volatile business.”

The Canadian government has appointed a mediator to try to settle disagreements between Air Canada and its unions and retirees over the future of the airline’s pension plan.
