Airlines ask FCC to make airport restrictions permanent

Airlines for America joined other aviation organizations in asking the Federal Communications Commission to make permanent restrictions broadband carriers have voluntarily agreed to maintain into 2023 on using C-band spectrum near airports to avoid potential interference. “Reasonable 5G network/equipment limits are feasible and would avoid aviation implementing costly additional mitigations that are unnecessary given 5G’s operational use cases,” A4A and other aviation organizations said in a letter.
