Proposed Legislation Aims to Ban Phone Calls on Airplanes for Safety and Etiquette
A new bill introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives seeks to ban phone and video calls on airplanes, a move supported by former flight attendants. The Quiet Skies Act, introduced by Democratic and Republican lawmakers, would require the Federal Aviation Administration to finalize the ban within 180 days. This legislation comes as WiFi access on flights becomes more prevalent, raising concerns about passenger safety and comfort. While some airlines already prohibit phone calls, the bill aims to make it a legal requirement, addressing potential disruptions and safety issues.
