The world's two biggest plane makers say the technology could have a negative impact on the aviation industry.

Bosses from the world's two biggest plane makers have called on the US government to delay the rollout of new 5G phone services.

Concerns have previously been raised that C-Band spectrum 5G wireless could interfere with aircraft electronics."5G interference could adversely affect the ability of aircraft to safely operate," said the bosses of Boeing and Airbus Americas, Dave Calhoun and Jeffrey Knittel, in a joint letter to US Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.

The aviation industry and the US Federal Aviation Administration have raised concerns about potential interference of 5G with sensitive aircraft equipment like radio altitude meters.This month, the FAA issued airworthiness directives warning 5G interference could result in flight diversions, saying it would provide more information before the 5 January rollout date.

Aviation industry groups have said the measures did not go far enough, with Boeing and Airbus saying they made a counterproposal that would limit cellular transmissions around airports and other critical areas.
