5G chaos at US airports: Emirates cancels (almost) all flights to the US

Tomorrow is scheduled to turn on the 5G signal at U.S. airports. There would be nothing to worry about except that the configuration of broadband networks and repeaters in the U.S. is bringing air travel into chaos.

American companies, virtually all of them, have written a formal letter to the aviation safety authority talking about an impending disaster that would affect the entire country's economy.

The anomalies at the moment were found by the Faa on the Boeing 787-8, 787-9 and 787-10 and could affect different systems of the aircraft, without being apparent until the aircraft is at low altitude during the approach.

AT&T and Verizon have already twice delayed the launch of their new service C-Band 5G because of warnings from airlines and airplane manufacturers concerned that the new system could interfere with their ability to measure altitude. Because that seems to be precisely the problem: the 5G signal risks altering the operation of the sensors that guide the autopilot in the delicate stages of landing.

Therefore, until further notice, the U.S. Department of Transportation has banned the use of autopilot In the takeoff and landing phases.

It is not only American companies that are alarmed, Emirates has just announced a drastic cut to its operational to the U.S., effectively suspending until further notice flights to 9 out of the 12 airports served.

Due to operational issues associated with the planned deployment of 5G mobile network services in the United States at some airports, Emirates will suspend flights to the following U.S. destinations from January 19, 2022 until further notice:

Boston (BOS), Chicago (ORD), Dallas Fort Worth (DFW), Houston (IAH), Miami (MIA), Newark (EWR), Orlando (MCO), San Francisco (SFO) and Seattle (SEA). Customers holding tickets with a final destination for one of the above flights will not be accepted at the point of origin.

Emirates flights to New York JFK, Los Angeles (LAX) and Washington DC (IAD) continue to operate as scheduled.

As well as Emirates, other non-American airlines have also taken countermeasures. For example, Air India has announced that it will change the aircraft models used on routes to the States resulting in a reduction in routes. It is logical to expect similar choices from other European carriers using Dreamliners or 777s. While Airbus-operated flights would currently be safe.

The reason is that the 777s are also considered at risk, as are the 787s, so Emirates has left active only those routes where it flies Airbus A380s.

Japanese companies ANA and JAL have also made similar decisions.

In Italy and Europe, no problem

"This is not a global or European issue, it is really a specific issue about the use of 5G and its implementation in the United States in terms of frequency bands and power," they explained from Airbus. The difference would all lie in the radio frequency of the 5G signal repeaters. In Europe, the main frequency band for 5G has been bounded between 3.4 and 3.8 GHz, Frequencies that are less similar to those of radio altimeters In use in the United States.
