 From January to October 2024, solar storms have the greatest impact on aircraft communications, so there are always various aircraft failures around the world recently, and you can take fewer planes during this time, just in case.

 😅 The recent incidents of aircraft have been minor. If there was a solar storm that had a major impact, the FAA would have grounded flights.
