Devices may be used after plane leaves runway under new rules
From July 1, British Airways will change its electronic devices policy after landing, allowing smartphones, tablets and other gadgets to be used immediately after the plane leaves the runway, reports BBC News. Under the existing rules, BA passengers must wait until the plane has stopped at the terminal building before powering on their devices.
BA will be the first European airline to bring in relaxed rules for electronic devices after landing, after the British Civil Aviation Authority said the move presented no safety risk. But the changes won't affect restrictions in place around take-off, which require passengers to turn off all devices until they reach 10,000 feet.
Over in the U.S., the FAA is reportedly looking at taking things a step further and relaxing its own blanket ban on electronic device usage below 10,000 feet. A formal decision from the aviation authority is expected this fall.
