Aviation trade group Airlines for America has claimed 5G-related interference could threaten to disrupt as many as 350,000 flights per year."The operations that could be impacted include Qantas flights from Australia to Los Angeles," he said.Verizon has spent $74.35 billion on the C-band 5G spectrum.
