There appears to be no point in trying to phone Air Canada today.
The airline is overwhelmed with calls as travellers booked on grounded Boeing 7-37 Max 8 and 9 flights try to arrange alternate bookings.
A recording tells travellers that call volume has temporarily exceeded the company's capacity to answer or even put them on hold.
Transport Minister Marc Garneau grounded the planes yesterday as a precautionary move after reviewing evidence in the wake of Sunday's Ethiopian Airlines disaster that killed all 157 people on board, including 18 Canadians.
