Written Question
Aircraft: 5G
Friday 28th January 2022

Asked by: Viscount Stansgate (Labour - Excepted Hereditary)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what steps they are taking in respect of the concerns raised by the aviation industry about the potentially dangerous effects of 5G networks on certain categories of aircraft.

Answered by Baroness Vere of Norbiton

We continue to monitor US Aviation industry concerns that the US 5G network could affect equipment onboard aircraft.

The UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) is leading on assessing any risks from the implementation of the UK 5G network on aviation safety, in conjunction with the Ministry of Defence, OFCOM, and industry stakeholders. The CAA has issued guidance to UK operators throughout the world on 5G status in other countries, including the US.

The UK CAA will continue to monitor the situation, and both my department and the CAA is in close contact with industry, the US Federal Aviation Administration, the EU Aviation Safety Agency and other stakeholders on this.
