The scale of flight cancellations was smaller than originally expected, and international airlines have different approaches to the 5G problem. Some of them, like Emirates, have canceled most of their flights, others, like Air France, are operating normally, AP writes.
The U.S. Airline Association has announced that fewer flights have been canceled as telecoms operators AT&T and Verizon have agreed to temporarily restrict 5G deployment at airports until government agencies and airlines work out long-term solutions.
Federal Aviation Agency warns
The AT&T and Verizon networks are using frequencies for the new service that are similar to those used by radio altimeters to help landing machines in poor visibility, AP said.
US air traffic governance, the Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) warned of potential problems with certain aircraft, prompting telecom companies to suspend 5G deployment around certain airports on Tuesday.
The FAA is individually evaluating the capabilities of each aircraft type to operate in the vicinity of the 5G network. Until Wednesday, models were allowed to make landings at airports with 5G, which in total account for 62 percent. passenger aircraft in the US.
5G networks already operate in dozens of other countries in the world, but the system used in the USA has a stronger signal, and its frequency is closer to that used by aircraft on-board devices, it also differs in the angle of antenna orientation – informs the FAA.
The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) said it did not observe any incidents due to disruptions related to the 5G network.
