There is the potential for travel chaos next week as the rollout of 5G means older planes could be banned from takeoff over fears the new network may interfere with their transmissions.
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said that only planes fitted with the right equipment will be allowed to fly when visibility is poor, such as during bad weather.
The warning, in a letter from Buttigieg to trade group Airlines for America, comes just before AT&T, Verizon and other carriers will be free to boost the power of their 5G signals on July 1.
