I saw a report on this on my local evening news so looked it up on Yahoo. Here is what I found from Frobes. Other articles were listed but I will let you do your own further research.

Re: Will 5G disrupt air traffic

I'm not going to put much faith in an article that can't even clearly present its argument. 5G has been deployed as a production service for all US carriers since at least 2019. All that's coming online next year are the mid-band towers, which are the same frequencies that have been in use 40 countries around the world for the same service with no ill effects on air travel, as well as also being in use by cellular service providers before being re-farmed to 5G use.

Re: Will 5G disrupt air traffic

It seems that the airline industry is now demanding that Freddy's Candy Company AKA the FCC delay roll out of 5G. Airline industry demanding FCC delay of 5G rollout

The trade group Airlines for America concern is that 5G may interfere with the accuracy of radio altimeters. After doing some searching, the only place where there is a possible interference is the K_a band (35 GHz) which is right in the middle of 24Ghz to 47Ghz frequency range used for high-band 5G.

Looking at what US carriers are using it appears that there currently will not be any interference.

T-Mobile is stay in the low and mid band range offering 600Mhz, 800Mhz, 1.9Ghz and 2.5Ghz
Verizon intends to use high band frequencies of 28Ghz and 39Ghz which are outside the K_a band
AT&T say they will use millimeter wave spectrum which most likely means high-band for dense areas and mid and low band for rural and suburban areas

All the FCC needs to do is allocate high band frequencies that will not interfere in the K_a band. Now the question becomes 'do the bureaucrats at the FCC know how to determine what doesn't interfere?'

We have been rolling out 5G all over the UK, currently only in main city's. London for example, all around the airports, I would imagine they did their research before installing the 5G masts.
