Emirates to resume Boeing 777 flights to US after 5G go-ahead

FAA gives approval for more types of planes to land in low visibility near 5G signals

The long-haul carrier Emirates has said it will resume its Boeing 777 flights to the US after halting its use of the aircraft there over concerns new 5G services in the country could interfere with planes' instruments that measure altitude.

International carriers that rely heavily on the wide-body 777 and other Boeing aircraft cancelled early flights or switched to different planes on Wednesday after warnings from the Federal Aviation Administration and the Chicago-based plane-maker about possible 5G interference with radio altimeters.
