WASHINGTON (Reuters] – American Airlines (NASDAQ) Chief Operating Office David Seymour said Tuesday to employees that the company expected major operational disruptions if the new 5G wireless network is launched on Wednesday.

“Until a long-term technical solution is developed and implemented and as long as 5G is deployed, we anticipate we’ll experience delays, diversions and cancellations that are well beyond our control,” Seymour said in a note to employees. As new wireless technology activates, major disruptions are occurring in the entire U.S. airlines industry.

AT&T (NYSE:) said it had agreed to delay some 5G deployment on Wednesday, while Verizon (NYSE:) has not yet commented.
