Traveling in the U.S.? Don’t plan on making any calls during your flight.
Despite other airlines such as Qantas and Emirates Airlines lifting their bans on cellular phone use, travellers on U.S. airlines will still have to keep their mobile devices turned off. According to NEWS.com.au, the U.S. Federal Communication Commission (FCC) announced in April that it will not be lifting its ban anytime soon.
The reason: Lack of research and technical information to prove whether or not cell phones and other personal electronic devices have an affect on communications and navigational systems.
The article reports than while many travellers are frustrated with the news, others oppose lifting the ban because cell phone users could disturb other passengers.
