Mobile phones need to be set to flight mode so they can't cause an emergency for the airplane, right? Well, it depends on whom you ask.

. have voiced aviation safety concerns linked to 5G rollout; however, it appears to have rolled out without such problems in the European Union. Either way, it is prudent to limit mobile phone use on planes while issues around 5G are sorted out.Most airlines now provide customers with Wi-Fi services that are either pay-as-you-go or free. With new Wi-Fi technologies, passengers could theoretically use their mobile phones to make video calls with friends or clients in flight.

For me, the problem with in-flight use of phones is more about the social experience of having 200-plus people on a plane, and all potentially talking at once. In a time when disruptive passenger behavior, including "air rage," is increasingly frequent, phone use in flight might be another trigger that changes the whole flight experience.

In conclusion — in-flight use of phones does not currently impair the aircraft's ability to operate. But cabin crews may prefer not to be delayed in providing in-flight service to all of the passengers — it's a lot of people to serve.
