gargamon Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 https://www.cnn.com/2022/01/18/business/airline-cancellations-5g/index.html (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. Airlines ask Biden administration for 'immediate intervention' on 5G 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtls2005 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I haven't followed this story closely, seen the headlines of course. I think AT&T and Verizon have paused 5G provisioning in/near airports? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtls2005 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 I think this issue has been cleared up and airlines are flying to the U.S. again, and landing at or near their destination airport. https://www.khaleejtimes.com/aviation/uae-us-travel-emirates-announces-a380-flights-to-select-destinations-after-5g-rollout-delay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
