FAA approval ends 5G flight cancellations at Paine Field

EVERETT — Relieving the worries of passengers scheduled to fly on Alaska Air flights through Paine Field in Everett, there should be no further flight cancellations caused by the deployment of 5G cell service.

The Federal Aviation Administration this weekend cleared the one aircraft used there for commercial flights as safe to land free of 5G signal interference.

Unlike the larger planes built by Airbus and Boeing, the Embraer E175 regional jet that Alaska uses for those flights had not received the all-clear from the FAA regarding possible interference from the 5G signals with cockpit instruments.

That led to dozens of flight cancellations last week when fog shrouded the airport and pilots could not rely on their instruments to tell them their height above the ground.
