In a statement to
Khaberni, he said that instructions to airlines are to take caution and follow
the necessary procedures. He said that for now there is no reason to cancel
flights, but the decision is up to the airlines.
Misto confirmed
that Royal Jordanian will implement safety measures regarding 5G.
Each company
should assess risks according to its view, and airlines should exercise caution
when using devices that could be affected by
5G frequencies, he said.
He said that the
commission has communicated with the telecommunications sector on the subject.
“We contacted those concerned to ensure that 5G transmission will not affect
flight operations at airports or near airports,” Misto added.
Earlier on
Tuesday,
Emirates Airlines suspended flights to some US destinations as of
Wednesday due to the operation of 5G networks at some US airports.
Airlines fear that
signals from 5G networks, which use the C-frequency spectrum, could interfere
with the frequency waves used in air navigation especially during bad weather
conditions and landing and takeoff. So far it is believed that
Boeing 777
aircraft could be affected.
