Long-haul carrier Emirates said on Thursday it would resume its Boeing 777 flights to the US after halting its use of the aircraft there over an ongoing dispute over the rollout of new 5G services in America.

International carriers that rely heavily on the wide-body Boeing 777, and other Boeing aircraft, cancelled early flights or switched to different planes on Wednesday following warnings from the Federal Aviation Administration and the Chicago-based plane-maker over possible interference from the new 5G signals with radio altimeters.
