One of the biggest concerns was whether 5G signals would interfere with aircraft equipment that's critical when planes land in low visibility.
Severe weather across the U.S. along a blanket of wildfire smoke from those incidents burning in Canada have led to major delays at airports across the nation on the Friday before July 4th weekend.
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration also advised travelers that bad weather conditions on the East Coast could affect flights later Saturday. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg recently told airlines that flights could be disrupted because a small portion of the nation’s fleet has not been upgraded to protect against radio interference.
The airline does not expect to cancel any flights because of the issue, Delta said Friday. The airline plans to route the 190 planes carefully to limit the risk of canceling flights or forcing planes to divert away from airports where visibility is low because of fog or low clouds. FlightAware listed nine Delta flight cancellations Saturday. None of them were tied to 5G issues, according to the airline.
