Air India to curtail or revise US flights resulting from 5G roll out

Air India mentioned on Tuesday it is going to curtail or revise its flights to the US resulting from deployment of 5G web there from January 19.
US aviation regulator Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) had on January 14 mentioned 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 gaggle of US-based airways mentioned on Monday in a letter to FAA that that 5G web deployment may trigger “catastrophic” aviation disaster.
The group includes airways comparable to United Airlines, American Airlines, Delta Airlines and FedEx.
Apart from Air India, United Airlines and American Airlines are the opposite two carriers that function flights between India and the US. Air India tweeted on Tuesday: “Due to deployment of 5G communications in USA, our operations to USA from India stand curtailed/revised with change in aircraft type from January 19, 2022.” “Update in this regard will be informed shortly,” it added. —With PTI
