Fifteen years after it helped to introduce the technology, UPS is removing traffic information displays from its Boeing 757 and 767 flight decks because the equipment is obsolete and there is no Federal Aviation Administration mandate to use it, the cargo carrier said. It expects to remove the automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) “In” capability by next spring.
