The European Aviation Safety Agency says
electronic devices such as mobile phones can
be left switched on during flights.
EASA says that electronic devices do not pose a
safety risk.
The announcement clears the way for airlines to
permit the use of mobile phones, once they
have conducted their own safety reviews.
Currently airline passengers have to switch
devices to flight mode and make calls from the
airport terminal.
The EASA sets the framework for airlines
making safety decisions.
The agency said each airline would still have to
go through an assessment process, ensuring
aircraft systems are not affected by the signals
from portable electronic devices before
establishing their own rules for their operation.
As a result there could be a delay in
implementing the new rules at some airlines.
It also says that airlines may opt for different
policies on the use of mobile devices.
