The FAA recently determined that 5G could interfere with vital safety instruments on airplanes, prompting airline CEOs to write a letter urging government officials not to implement 5G near certain airports.
CEOs from Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Delta, FedEx, Jetblue, Southwest, United Airlines and others wrote to government officials to warn against the implementation of 5G near airports.
"We are writing with urgency to request that 5G be implemented everywhere in the country except within the approximate 2 miles of airport runways at affected airports as defined by the FAA on January 19, 2022," the letter says. "This will allow 5G to be deployed while avoiding harmful impacts on the aviation industry, traveling public, supply chain, vaccine distribution, our workforce and broader economy.
It continues, "We further ask that the FAA immediately identify those base stations closest to key airport runways that need to be addressed to ensure safety and avoid disruption in a manner that is narrowly focused and consistent with the agreement established on January 3, 2022." The letter also says that if immediate action isn’t taken, there could be significant disruption to both commercial air travelers and the shipping industry.
