The FAA has so far cleared 62% of the U.S. fleet to land in low-visibility conditions.
The new service began on Wednesday after two delays since December. Verizon and AT&T, at the last-minute, agreed to temporarily delay the rollout near airports temporarily after airlines warned federal officials that the signals could cause widespread disruptions and"economic calamity."
Airports in Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore and San Francisco were most affected, it said, noting that it could lead to traffic backups at airports in Detroit, Reno, Calif., Chicago and Los Angeles.
