The head of Emirates says he did not know about the US 5G launch until the morning, calling everyone involved “guilty” and “irresponsible”.

Sir Tim Clark, head of the Dubai-based airline Emirates, attacked the US government and US wireless providers when they appeared on CNN on Wednesday.

Mr Clarke said he had not been notified of the US 5G release until Tuesday morning. Emirates is primarily powered by the Boeing 777s, and aviation security experts warn of a malfunction that could be caused by 5G in particular.

“I have to be honest as usual, this is one of the most innocuous, completely irresponsible issues. Call it what you want, because I have seen in my flight that it is elements of government, manufacturers, science, etc. You know, for example, the US government has its right to all frequencies. We have to sell for a big amount, ”he said. Told CNN Richard Quest. “Someone must have told them at the time – the dangers and dangers they pose at specific frequencies use the domain, the airports, the metropolitan areas that should have been done at that time.”
