The United States’ biggest airlines warned on Monday of “chaos” to their operations if telecommunication companies proceed with rolling out 5G technology without restricting the technology near airports, according to greekreporter.com.
The airlines want some 5G implementation, set to begin on Wednesday, delayed near key airports in the US.
The CEO’s of major airlines noted in a letter that the deployment of new 5G mobile internet technology could lead to the grounding of a number of flights due to interference from the technology, “potentially strand tens of thousands of Americans overseas” and lead to “chaos” for US flights.
“We are writing with urgency to request that 5G be implemented everywhere in the country except within the approximate two miles of airport runways as defined by the FAA,” wrote chief executives of American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, United Airlines, Southwest Airlines, and six other passenger and cargo carriers, reports AFP.
