The flight had to be diverted to Poland after it faced issues with its GPS
The article explores the issue of GPS interference causing flight diversions, particularly near Russian airspace.
While Russia denies interference, there is increasing evidence pointing to deliberate GPS jamming or spoofing near its borders. This interference has impacted numerous flights, including Ryanair, Finnair, and even an RAF aircraft carrying a former UK defense secretary.
Although the UK's Civil Aviation Authority claims GPS jamming doesn't directly compromise aircraft navigation, the frequency and pattern of these incidents, especially near Kaliningrad, raise significant concerns about Russia's potential role in disrupting air travel.
