FLAG carrier Philippine Airlines (PAL) expects its flights to the United States to proceed as scheduled following the US authority's assurance guaranteeing flights' safety over the effect of new 5G transmitters on aircraft instruments when in the vicinity of certain US airports.

'The US Department of Transportation has assured the aviation community that aircraft landing in US airports will not encounter interference from 5G radio waves, now that telecommunications companies have agreed with the Biden administration to revise the deployment of the upgraded technology around key airports throughout the US,' PAL's statement said.
