Airline industry officials say the decision by AT&T and Verizon to delay activating 5G towers near many airports has defused the situation.
WHY DID AIRLINES CANCEL SOME FLIGHTS TO THE U.S. THIS WEEK?
International airlines canceled some flights that were scheduled to operate just as the new networks went live. They feared not being able to land at their destinations under 5G-related restrictions imposed by the FAA.Airlines canceled more than 350 flights on Wednesday, according to FlightAware. That sounds like a lot, but it’s just 2% of all scheduled flights — and it's likely most of them got scrubbed for other reasons. For context, there were nearly 10 times as many cancellations on Jan.
In France, 5G networks near airports must operate at reduced power to lower the risk of interference with planes.No. Verizon and AT&T activated about 90% of their 5G C-Band towers this week but agreed not to turn on those within a 2-mile radius of many airports. The companies still want to activate those towers, but there might not be agreement until the FAA is satisfied that an overwhelming portion of the airline fleet can operate safely around the signals.
Some experts say poor coordination and cooperation among the two federal agencies is as much to blame as any technical issues.That should not have happened. The FAA and airlines had plenty of notice that C-Band was coming — it's been talked about for years. They say they tried to raise their concerns but were ignored by the FCC.“It wasn’t our finest hour, I think, as a country," he said.
