More work on 5G

THE International Air Transport Association (IATA) is urging governments to ensure the safe roll-out of 5G networks, while working closely with the aviation industry to ensure safety systems can co-exist with the new technology.

Before deciding on any spectrum allocations or conducting auctions, IATA called for governments to ensure close coordination and mutual understandings with aviation safety regulators are met.

The call came as the industry met in Doha at the 78th IATA Annual General Meeting.
