The heads of major US airlines have warned of catastrophic disruptions in the transportation and shipping sectors if the fifth generation (5G) networks are operated for the Internet without setting controls for transmitting stations located near airports.

The letter warned of an economic catastrophe if Verizon and AT&T went ahead with the deployment of the new technology before making the necessary updates and changes to aviation equipment, stressing that trade in the country would stop completely if this step was taken.

The letter called on authorities to take whatever action is necessary to ensure that 5G is not deployed when towers are too close to airport runways until the FAA can determine how to do so safely and without catastrophic disruption.

For its part, the US Federal Aviation Administration issued a brief statement yesterday, in which it sought to alleviate concerns about the impact of the launch of the fifth generation network on aviation, but did not announce any concrete next steps in this regard.
