“Today’s voluntary agreement by AT&T and Verizon to temporarily delay 5G implementation around some U.S. airports is good news and will do a tremendous amount of good to prevent disastrous disruptions to our economy and aviation safety,” Chairs DeFazio and Larsen said. “The reality is that U.S. national airspace is the most complex in the world and is not subject to many of the mandatory mitigations seen in other countries. It’s time for the FAA, airlines, manufacturers, the telecom industry, and airports to work together on a schedule to implement long-term measures at affected airports so that the laudable goal of implementing 5G technologies can coexist with the aviation sector without disruption.”
