Both ANA and Japan Airlines said they were restoring service on Thursday after assurances from regulators at the US Federal Aviation Administration.
Telecom giants AT&T and Verizon began 5G service in the United States Wednesday without major disruptions to flights after the launch of the new wireless technology was scaled back.
A handful of international carriers removed flights to the United States from their schedules Wednesday, but there were not mass cancellations and some of those companies planned to resume service on Thursday.
On Wednesday, about 215 flights either planned to depart or land in US airports were canceled, according to the website Flight Aware. That figure is less than the 538 reported last Wednesday, although the number could climb throughout the day.
Airlines that had cut flights for Wednesday included Emirates, Air India, ANA and Japan Airlines.
