Air India said on Tuesday it will curtail or revise its flights to the US due to deployment of 5G internet there from January 19.
US aviation regulator Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) had on January 14 said that “5G interference with the aircraft’s radio altimeter could prevent engine and braking systems from transitioning to landing mode, which could prevent an aircraft from stopping on the runway”.
Therefore, a group of US-based airlines said on Monday in a letter to FAA that that 5G internet deployment could cause “catastrophic” aviation crisis.
The group comprises airlines such as United Airlines, American Airlines, Delta Airlines and FedEx.
