WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on Thursday issued fresh warnings that new 5G wireless service could still disrupt flights, saying there were "big differences" between U.S. aviation protections and those used in France.

Late Thursday, the FAA launched a dedicated webpage https://www.faa.gov/5g on 5G and aviation safety raising questions about potential impact on sensitive airplane electronics like altimeters.
