Some of the world’s biggest airlines announced they would suspend flying to parts of the US over concerns about new 5G towers.
Emirates, Air India, All Nippon Airways and Japan Airlines all announced service cuts due to the potential issues.
Aviation industry insiders said there could still be some flight cancellations and other impacts in the coming days, but the measures announced by AT&T and Verizon are expected to prevent the worst problems. “We are launching our advanced 5G services everywhere else as planned with the temporary exception of this limited number of towers,” the spokesperson said.
“The Federal Aviation Administration and our nation’s airlines have not been able to fully resolve navigating 5G around airports, despite it being safe and fully operational in more than 40 other countries,” the spokesperson said.
