January 27, 2025

INCIDENT

Finnair cancelled flights between Helsinki, Finland, and Tartu, Estonia, because of GPS jamming. Flights between Helsinki and Tartu were suspended until an alternative navigation system for landing approach was put in place.

Cases of GPS jamming, which is when strong radio signals drown out or interfere with satellite navigation systems, have surged since 2022, after Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
