5G deployment: Why are airlines worried, and what does it mean for India?

Airline companies in the US are currently at odds with companies like AT&T and Verizon over their plans of launching 5G wireless services. The airlines have warned that thousands of flights could be grounded or delayed if 5G services are rolled out near major airports.

For India, it means that flights to the US might be affected. However, in the long run, with 5G deployment in India on the cards for this year, Indian airlines might raise similar concerns as the US ones.
