Airline companies warn 5G will create “catastrophic" aviation crisis
 

But at least the US telcos will make money

The chief executives of major US passenger and cargo carriers on Monday warned of an impending "catastrophic" aviation crisis in less than 36 hours, when AT&T and Verizon turn on their new 5G service.

The airlines warned the new C-Band 5G service set to begins on Wednesday could render a significant number of widebody aircraft unusable, "could potentially strand tens of thousands of Americans overseas" and cause "chaos" for US flights.
5G has put the airlines against the US telcos who have invested rather a lot in 5G and are used to getting their way.

The chief executives of American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, United Airlines , Southwest Airlines and others have warned that 5G interference could affect sensitive aeroplane instruments such as altimeters and significantly hamper low-visibility operations.

"This means that on a day like yesterday, more than 1,100 flights and 100,000 passengers would be subjected to cancellations, diversions or delays," the letter cautioned. "To be blunt, the nation’s commerce will grind to a halt."
