The European Commission opens the door to the use of 5G in aircraft. Confirmation arrives in these hours with a press release that anticipates the arrival of regulatory changes in this sense. Airplane mode in the EU could therefore have cash days. The EU also intends to bring 5G to aircraft, allowing passengers to be able to use connectivity services during the flight.

According to Thierry Breton, Commissioner for the Internal Market, into the future: “5G will enable innovative services for people and growth opportunities for European businesses. The sky is no longer the limit when it comes to the possibilities of super-fast, high-capacity connectivity.”

This novelty could become a reality very soon. In fact, the EU intends to significantly accelerate the spread of 5G, bringing connectivity even to high altitudes, also thanks to the support of satellite networks. Further details are available directly on the UE site.
