New Delhi: List of airlines worried about the impact of 5G internet launch in the US this week in flight operations grew on that day.
Air India, the only Indian carrier that operates nonstop between US India, tweets on Tuesday will “reduce / revise (op US) …
with changes in the type of aircraft starting January 19, 2022.” AI said this “because of the spread of 5G communication in the US”.
5G high speed uses frequencies close to those who help aircraft measure their heights.
The airline is worried that the possibility of 5G interference with aircraft instruments can be a serious safety danger.
Chief executive of several US operators liked American Airlines, Delta and United together to write to US flight authorities, by saying: “Direct intervention is needed to avoid significant operational disorders to air passengers, sires, supply chains needed.” “Aircraft manufacturers have told us that there is a large plot of operating fleets that might need to be grounded without time limits.
In addition to the chaos caused by the country, the lack of a wide body aircraft that can be used has the potential to spread tens of thousands of Americans abroad,” said the As Airlines.
Air India flies without stopping between several Indian and US cities such as Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, New York JFK, Newark (EWR), Chicago, Washington and San Francisco.
United and American Airlines are currently flying without stopping between the two countries and Delta has not continued the flight.
