Aviation industry calls for collaboration, 5G mitigation extension

Airlines for America joined other aviation groups and companies in an open letter to the Federal Aviation Administration calling for an extension of 5G C-Band mitigation measures by wireless carriers as airlines work to retrofit aircraft. “Our aviation coalition strongly believes that instead of once again waiting until the eleventh hour, now is the time for the leadership at federal agencies and the White House to implement a solution that allows 5G to move forward and avoid further flight delays and cancellations,” the letter states.
