for the pilots and flight attendants, to at the start of the pandemic, germany's biggest carrier lufthansa had to be rescued by a 9000000000 euro government bailout industry. experts are now concerned that all micron could put a damper on the rebound the sector had seen over the past months, reminisce and if we don't get the situation under control quickly, the industry is looking at additional losses in the billions. we've almost indiana and the airlines would have to massively reduce capacity and continued to try to sit things out also that and companies that can't stay afloat under those conditions might need another round of government. am alanna financing chrome? the renewed uncertainty is also affecting holiday makers on the ground. take thailand, a favorite destination for many europeans and winter. in november, it eased travel restrictions for visitors, but now the rules have been tightened again. tourists are again required to provide documentation including cobit tests and vaccination certificates. the pandemic has been an enormous challenge for a german hotel owner. hi o font co

we heard from lufthansa, the european carrier based in germany. they canceled one flight to miami today that also swapped aircraft. that is not easy. if you imagine, each plane has different capacity, staffing requirements. any change there has a knock-on effect potentially for other routes. so crisis not quite averted. isa? >> we shall see how long this delay lasts, of course, because it's not the first time they have had to delay. anna stewart there for us, thanks very much, anna. >>> now, it was a rough day on wall street on tuesday where all major, three major indices closed in the red. there have been worries about high lending rates, rising bond yields, as well as earning season sent the dow more than -- down more than 500 points. it finished down 1.5%. the nasdaq there down just over 2.5%. the s&p 500 down almost 2%. >>> now, oil prices rose to a new seven-year high on tuesday. one wall street bank predicts prices will go even higher. brent crude topped $87 a barrel for the first time since october 2014. u.s. crude also had its highest clos

lufthansa, british airlines, ana. you and i talk about flight disruption, once that disruption is over, we stop talking about it. but the frustration and anger about everything that ran up to the botched 5g rollout continues, and here is what the president of emirates said to richard quest. >> i guess i need to be as candid as i normally am. this is one of the most delinquent utterly irresponsible issues, call it what you like, i've seen in my aviation career. somebody should have told them a long time ago that it would compromise safety of operation, of aircraft in metropolitan areas, with catastrophic consequences if this was allowed to continue. >> reporter: isa, he does not mince his words, does he? but a whole litany of events led to this decision on tuesday night before the rollout on wednesday. and as you said, that was over a very long period. there was this decision in the u.s. to assign a very high frequency of spectrum to 5g, much higher than in europe. and that is why the rollout in the u.s. has been so pr

british airways, lufthansa, emirates, air india, all nippon airways, japan airlines suspending flightsrgo planes, on helicopters, they're called altimeters. they send a radio signal to the ground, it gets beeped back to the plane and it gives them an idea of how high they are from the ground. that runs on a similar radio spectrum to these 5g towers, and pilots say that could cause critical interference when they are low to the ground in low visibility when they say they really need this the most. listen. >> the bottom line is, as the faa said, this affects 17 systems on my airplane if things go wrong. if bombarding my airplane with signal interference, that is unsafe. >> reporter: at&t and verizon are behind this 5g push. it begs mentions at&t owns cnn's parent company. in a statement it says this is really on the faa. it had two years to fix this, so a lot of finger pointing here, kate. we're only seeing just the start of it. >> thank you very much, pete, for the latest there. >>> before we go, we also do want to note the passing after an icon. andre leon talley has died after battlin

decision, cancellations from emirates, india, ana, japan airlines and just in the last couple of hours lufthansat from frankfurt to miami. and also to avoid further cancellations, many are stopping air aircraft -- swapping aircraft around to avoid 5g interference. why the cancellations, why the disruption given the delays of the 5g rollout near certain airports? so many airlines had to make a decision yesterday. they're long haul flights. they had to let staff and passengers know what was going on. also the nature of yesterday, we saw such chaotic mixed messages. you had the airlines saying they were facing catastrophic disruption, calling for a delay. you had mobile operators saying it was safe, but the faa had had long enough. they delayed this decision before. they didn't want to delay it again. so i think international airlines here playing it safe. so despite all that chaos, hopefully passengers do feel safe traveling to and from the u.s. today. >> anna, thank you so much for your reporting. >>> all right. 5g, of course, a tech revolution. let's dig in with cnn aviation analyst myles o'brie

emirates air india and lufthansa are among those citing safety concerns. the decision coming even after a t and t and verizon agreed to limit turning on the switch near most of the nation's biggest airports were still in the investigation face and because of that, we can't take a chance with the safety of the flying the flying public, so we have to be. we have to delay the implementation. five g relies on radio frequencies needed by planes for safety and navigation . telecom companies argue the technology has proven safe and dozens of countries but airlines expressed concern it would make it harder for planes to land, especially in bad weather. the faa updated its safety guidance tuesday, saying the five g rollout could particularly impact the boeing 7 77. an aircraft used by carriers around the globe telecom companies and the federal communications commission say both the airlines had plenty of time they had plenty of time to check their equipment to make sure their planes can operate safely. president biden praised the temporary rollout delay, white hous
