Emirates is suspending the flights due to the operational concerns of 5G technology at the American airports
Those who have tickets to those cities are advised to contact the Emirates Call Centre or their travel agency to rebook their flight. It’s been said that thousands of flights can experience delays if the systems are introduced near major airports.
Emirates added a statement to their website stating:
We are working closely with aircraft manufacturers and the relevant authorities to alleviate operational concerns, and we hope to resume our US services as soon as possible.
