5G and Aviation Safety

The FAA, collaborating with the aviation sector and wireless providers, has completed work to ensure that radio signals from newly activated wireless telecommunications systems can coexist safely with flight operations in the United States until at least January 1, 2028. Voluntary mitigations by the telecommunication operators, combined with aircraft radio altimeter retrofits by aviation operators, have resulted in the fielding of 5G C-Band with minimized impacts acceptable to both industries.

Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act - Air Traffic Facilities

Thursday, August 28, 2025

The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act provides a total of $5B in funding ($1B per year over five years) to upgrade the foundation of the FAA’s air traffic control. Think of it as a down payment to reduce our backlog of needed maintenance, updates, upgrades and replacement of critical buildings and equipment needed to operate our nation’s airspace safely. The work at buildings and equipment around the country will create jobs for local suppliers, construction workers and communities.

Lighting up LaGuardia

At LaGuardia Airport, we’ve invested $3.9 million in IIJA funding to replace critical infrastructure and increase reliability in their secondary runway with the goal of keeping planes moving safely and on time.

Upgrading this critical runway approach lighting system at LaGuardia helps the FAA maintain safety at this important New York airport. The work involved was challenging given the location of the equipment, but the new approach lights give pilots a more reliable system to get passengers to their destination safely.

The FAA controls more than 5 million square miles of airspace in the U.S. and more than 24 million square miles over oceans. The air traffic system includes towers at airports and terminal approach control facilities, which provide services to aircraft approaching and leaving busy airspace. It also includes 22 centers handling aircraft at high altitudes. These facilities depend on power systems, navigation and weather equipment, and radar and surveillance systems across the country.
