HIGHLIGHTS

·         AT&T, Verizon on Monday agreed to buffer zones around 50 airports

·         Airports not listed don’t have ability to allow low-visibility landings

·         The delay would allow it to evaluate ways to minimise disruptions

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on Friday disclosed a list of 50 US airports that will have buffer zones when wireless carriers turn on new 5G C-band service on January 19.

AT&T and Verizon on Monday agreed to buffer zones around 50 airports to reduce the risk of disruption from potential interference to sensitive airplane instruments like altimeters. They also agreed to delay deployment for two weeks, averting an aviation safety standoff.

The list includes airports in Chicago, Dallas, Detroit, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis, New York City, Philadelphia, and Seattle.

The FAA said it does not "not necessarily" mean that low-visibility flights cannot occur at airports that are not among the 50.
