Executives from the nation's largest airlines asked the Biden administration for 'immediate intervention' in the rollout of 5G tech near airports.
"The ripple effects across both passenger and cargo operations, our workforce and the broader economy are simply incalculable," the executives wrote."To be blunt, the nation's commerce will grind to a halt."The letter says discussions between the airlines and the telecommunications industry are ongoing.
On Monday evening, United Airlines warned of"a devastating impact on aviation" if 5G is rolled out near airports. The FAA said in a Monday evening statement that it"will continue to ensure that the traveling public is safe as wireless companies deploy 5G." The FAA said it has cleared for use two radar altimeters used in some Boeing and Airbus jets, a move that it says will allow many US commercial aircraft to make low-visibility landings at some airports.
