The Importance of Airplane Mode During Flights.
The use of mobile phones on airplanes is banned due to potential ground interference, as wireless networks could become overloaded if all passengers use their phones. While research has shown that personal electronic devices do not interfere with aircraft communication and navigation systems, the aviation industry continues to ban their use during takeoff and landing. The rollout of 5G wireless networks has caused concern for the aviation industry due to potential interference with navigation systems near airports. In-flight phone use may also contribute to air rage and disrupt cabin crew service.
