WTVO/WQRF – Delta airlines says it will not allow phone calls during its flights.
A company spokesman said the decision is based on feedback from frequent flyers who said in-flight calls would be disruptive. Last week, the FCC said it was considering lifting its ban on in-flight cell phone use.
Following the announcement, several government officials, including members of Congress and the U.S. Transportation Secretary, said they would work to prevent allowing calls during flights.
