Leading US air carriers have appealed to the authorities. They demand “immediate action” to prevent a major disruption to air travel due to the deployment of infrastructure for 5G communications. We are talking about the installation of appropriate towers near airports. Forbes writes about it.
The air carriers’ letter was sent to the US Department of Transportation. It was signed by United Airlines, American Airlines, Delta Airlines, UPS, FedEx. They are part of the Airlines for America alliance.
Representatives of the companies indicated that the authorities did not confirm the safety of airports after the installation of infrastructure for 5G, which is why these flights will have to be canceled.
It is indicated that the new equipment uses the same frequencies as a number of instruments on board aircraft.
The Ministry of Transport will create buffer zones at a number of the country’s largest airports, 5G will not appear here, but this will not affect all airports in the country. The Ministry will conduct a security check.
