Mobiles may be allowed on UK flights
Passengers on UK-registered aircraft could soon be able to use their mobile phones to make calls and send text messages, according to Ofcom.
The regulator, which had been examining the proposals since last year, says the plans are subject to approval by the relevant UK and European aviation bodies.
Ofcom says the policy has been developed with other European Union countries and the system could be used in European airspace.
Under the plans, airlines wishing to provide the service would allow passengers to use their own handsets once the aircraft reaches a minimum height of 3,000 meters. They would not be allowed during take-off and landing for safety reasons.
