Emirates’ President, Sir Tim Clark, has criticized the roll-out of 5G in the United States after his airline was forced to cancel flights to the country at short notice. The aviation industry veteran called the roll-out utterly irresponsible during an interview with CNN’s Richard Quest on this morning’s episode of Quest Means Business.

Emirates has canceled flights
Yesterday Emirates canceled many flights to the United States reasonably suddenly. Only flights to New York (JFK), Los Angeles (LAX), and Washington (IAD) were spared as the Airbus A380 operates them. Explaining his own short notice cancelations, Clark said that his airline had no idea how serious the 5G issues were until yesterday morning.

A handful of cell providers in the United States are essentially using beefed-up 5G antennas, which can impact the radio altimeters on some jets.
