Holiday-makers are being made aware of a new rule change coming into force as of next summer
. People jetting to Europe via airplane will be allowed to make phone calls and use their mobile's internet while in the air, it has been announced.
Air passengers in the EU are currently requested to turn off mobile phones or enable flight mode for the whole journey. This is because historically there was little understanding of how mobile data might affect flight communications, Dai Whittingham, chief executive of the UK Flight Safety Committee, told the BBC. He said: "There was a concern they could interfere with automatic flight control systems," he said.
Since the frequencies for in-flight 5G are different from those necessary for flying a plane , this means that there essentially won't be any risk of the pilot's transmissions being interrupted. However, at the moment, it's unclear at the moment whether UK airlines will adopt this service
