    And I’m sure any affected areas and satellites will be shutdown for that period to reduce any operational risk.

    So less planes falling and more planes delayed.

    Same for network communications as items are routed around certain areas or via some methods like fiber vs others.

      Planes wouldn’t just fall out of the sky anyways lmao. Even if planes lost communications completely they are still operational flying machines. It would just be very difficult to coordinate planes landing at that point. I don’t know about the protocols, but I’m sure there exist failsafes to coordinate air traffic in the event of radio communication loss.
