The airlines warn that the 5G signals risk interfering with safety equipment pilots rely on to take off and land in inclement weather.

The global aviation industry faces “catastrophic” disruption from the rollout of 5G network service this week, airline leaders have said.

“Unless our major hubs are cleared to fly, the vast majority of the traveling and shipping public will essentially be grounded,” they said in the letter, which was signed by the chief executives of American Airlines, United Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Southwest Airlines and Jet Blue, along with leaders of UPS and FedEx.

The CEOs’ warning came ahead of Wednesday’s rollout of the new C-Band 5G service from telecommunications giants AT&T and Verizon.
