Airlines grappling with a spike in GPS interference. Experts say it’s collateral damage from global conflicts

A Finnair flight takes off from Tallinn airport on Friday May 17. The airline cancelled flights between Helsinki Finland, and Tartu, Estonia for a month because of GPS jamming. Now that an alternative navigation system for landing approach is in place, flights will resume June 2.

Incidents of GPS jamming and spoofing have spiked, which experts say is the result of global conflicts. Jamming has caused Finnair to temporarily halt flights from Helsinki to Tartu, Estonia.
