Ford Motor Co. is looking at flying in some auto parts to a plant in Windsor, Ontario, that produces engines for popular models, an official representing the auto workers union said on Thursday, as automakers and other manufacturers seek alternatives for moving products caught up in Canadian trucking protests.

“We are looking at all options to keep our plants running,” said a spokeswoman for Ford’s Canadian division, which is running plants today in Oakville and Windsor at reduced capacity.
