WASHINGTON (Reuters), The Federal Aviation Administration said Sunday that it had cleared a estimated 45% U.S. Commercial Airplane Fleet to make low-visibility landings at airports where 5G-C-band will begin Wednesday.

The FAA said it approved two radio altimeter models installed in a wide variety of Boeing (NYSE:) and Airbus planes, including some Boeing 737, 747, 757, 767, MD-10/-11 and Airbus A310, A319, A320, A321, A330 and A350 models, just days before AT&T (NYSE:) and Verizon (NYSE:) launch new 5G service on Wednesday. In the days ahead, more FAA approvals are expected.

FAA stated that the new aircraft and altimeter approvals allow for “runways to as many as 48 airports which are most affected by 5G-C-band interference.” The FAA cautioned that even though these approvals have been granted, certain airports might still be affected.
