Recently two collaborations, Tibet and HAWC, presented new measurements of gamma-ray spectrum from Crab Nebula (Amenomori et al. in Phys Rev Lett 123(5):051101, 2019, arXiv:1906.05521 [astro-ph.HE]; Abeysekara et al. [HAWC Collaboration] in Astrophys. J. 881, 134, (2019), arXiv:1905.12518 [astro-ph.HE]) which continues beyond 100 TeV. We use these data to establish two-sided constraints on parameters of Lorentz Invariance violation in quantum electrodynamics. The limits on Lorentz violating mass scale for quartic dispersion relation are (photon splitting) and
(photon decay) for superluminal case, and
GeV (suppression of shower formation) for subluminal case.
