“As of this [Thursday afternoon] statement, approximately 62 percent of the aircraft in the U.S. commercial fleet have the approved altimeters onboard,” the Syracuse Regional Airport Authority (SRAA) said.
SRAA operates Syracuse Hancock International Airport.

SRAA says the FAA’s 5G and Aviation Safety website includes the current status of U.S. commercial fleet approval.
SRAA on Wednesday morning had announced that the Syracuse airport was on a list of several airports where low-visibility operations were banned following the launch of 5G cellular service due to its impact on certain flight operations.
