The US has decided to keep its July 1 deadline for airlines to fit special sensors that prevent disruption to altimeters. Without the sensors, planes could be diverted from low-visibility landings.
Airlines will have to fit special sensors on all of their planes to address 5G interference in the US. The country’s transportation secretary, Pete Buttigieg, has decided to keep the July 1 deadline in place, according to Reuters. If planes do not have the sensor by the deadline, they won’t be able to perform lower visibility approaches which may result in a diversion and delays.
