Airlines for weeks have warned of looming travel trouble due to Wednesday's 5G network rollout, predicting flight chaos in the US and the stranding of Americans overseas as planes were grounded over safety concerns.
The industry got a reprieve on Tuesday when AT&T and Verizon agreed to delay the rollout of 5G within two miles of airports. But that doesn't mean travelers are off the hook.
Several international airlines said they still plan to suspend some flights to the U.S. beginning Wednesday due to 5G deployment. The industry's concern: The frequency could interfere with airplane systems that measure altitude.
Air India announced on Twitter that it would cease flights to John F. Kennedy International Airport, San Francisco International Airport, Chicago’s O'Hare International Airport and Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey.
