Regulators Unite Against Growing Threat To Airspace Safety
Aviation authorities worldwide are warning of a surge in GPS interference across various high-risk airspace regions, prompting regulators to issue new guidance and coordinated action plans. The US FAA has released an updated GPS interference guide, while EASA and Eurocontrol have published a joint action plan to improve detection and response to such events. The move comes as instances of GPS interference have been reported in multiple regions, including the eastern Mediterranean, Black Sea, and the Korean peninsula. According to AeroTime, the threat is no longer limited to obvious geopolitical hotspots, and operators should be prepared to respond to such events.
