(CNN)Several international airlines say they will cancel flights into the United States starting Wednesday amid uncertainty about interference between new 5G cell phone service and critical airplane technologies.

Emirates, Air India, All Nippon Airways and Japan Airlines all announced service cuts citing the issue.
Emirates said it would suspend flights into nine US airports: Boston, Chicago O'Hare, Dallas Fort Worth, George Bush Intercontinental in Houston, Miami, Newark, Orlando, San Francisco and Seattle. It said it would continue flying into New York's John F. Kennedy airport, the Los Angeles airport and Washington Dulles.

Apparently the 5g frequency is very close to the frequency used by some airplanes to determine how far they are from the ground. I can't imagine what they would need that for. LOL.
