After airlines warned of “catastrophic disruptions” from the launch of 5G mobile service near airports, Verizon and AT&T said they won’t turn on the service around airports for now.

“The truth lies someplace in the murky interior of the debate, because we really don’t know whether or not there’s a potential interference,” said Nance.

Congressman Rick Larsen of Everett chairs the House Aviation Subcommittee. He said the Federal Communications Commission should have considered the impact on airlines sooner.Associate professor Chris Ridell is an expert in hardware and communication systems at the University of Washington. He said radio systems are carefully designed to avoid interference and said there’s no evidence 5G will cause problems for airplanes.
