WASHINGTON, (Reuters) – Groups representing U.S. aircraft companies and airports urged President Obama late Monday to block wireless carriers from using C-Band spectrum to 5G. They warn that this could lead to severe disruptions to air travel.

“Time has run out and it’s imperative that the White House intervene today to delay the imminent rollout of C-band 5G signals,” the groups said in a statement, issued just hours before the spectrum is due to come into use.

“Starting Wednesday, the disruptions to our country’s aviation system are going to be incredibly challenging, especially at a time when the industry is currently experiencing COVID-related operational issues,” the statement from the Aerospace Industries Association, International Air Transport Association, Regional Airline Association and others said.
