Tens of thousands of UK flights experiencing GPS jamming – media

The problem has been widespread since August last year. The government says signal jamming is often associated with military activity.

Some 46,000 flights to and from the UK have experienced GPS jamming in the region, likely behind Russia. This was reported by the British The Sun, citing sources in the aviation industry.

The publication, based on an analysis of flight records by the specialized website GPSJAM.org, writes that since August of last year, about 46 thousand flights have seen navigational problems. Of these, 2,300 were from Ryanair, almost 1,400 from Wizz Air.

British airlines British Airways and easyJet also suffered from GPS jamming, although not on such a large scale (82 and 4 cases respectively).

The UK Civil Aviation Authority told The Sun that signal jamming is often associated with military activity, but does not necessarily mean that commercial aircraft are a direct target.

“GPS jamming does not directly affect aircraft navigation, and while it is a known issue, it does not mean that the aircraft was intentionally jammed,” explained Glenn Bradley, director of the agency’s flight operations division. .

It was previously reported that GPS malfunctions were recorded in Estonia. They believe the Russians are interfering with GPS in an attempt to jam the drones.

And in March, the media wrote that the Russians had jammed the satellite signal on the plane on which British Defense Minister Grant Shapps was returning home from Poland.
