Emirates Suspending Flights to the United States: Says US Airports unsafe!

Emirates categorized a number of US airports unsafe announcing an immediate shut down of services from Dubai to 9 US gateways.
This decision may have a snowball effect on dozens of international and even US based airlines.

The reason is not COVID-19 but 5G

Emirates, Qatar Airways, Etihad and Turkish Airlines are all major connecting carriers with transit passenger from around the globe.

Dubai based Emirates Airlines took a bold step in just announcing the cancellation of all flights from Dubai to Boston (BOS), Chicago (ORD), Dallas Fort Worth (DFW), Houston (IAH), Miami (MIA), Newark (EWR), Orlando (MCO), San Francisco (SFO) and Seattle (SEA).

Japan Airlines and All Nippon Airlines made similar announcements of canceling flights on Boeing 777 and B787 aircraft from Japan to the United States.

The reason is the 5G rollout by US Communication companies.

The Federal Aviation Administration said Friday that 5G interference could delay systems like thrust reversers on Boeing 787s from kicking in, leaving only the brakes to slow the plane.

That “could prevent an aircraft from stopping on the runway,” the FAA said.

Emirates flights to New York’s JFK, Los Angeles International Airport and Washington DC’s Dulles International Airport will continue to operate as usual, the company added.

“We are working closely with aircraft manufacturers and the relevant authorities to alleviate operational concerns, and we hope to resume our US services as soon as possible,” the carrier said.

The White House said earlier on Tuesday that it wants to reach a solution on 5G deployment that protects air safety while minimizing disruption to air travel.
