Finnair Suspends Route Due to GPS Interference Concerns
GPS "spoofing" continues to be a concern for airlines operating in certain regions. (airlinegeeks.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
The suspended route is to Tarta, Estonia. Tarta is located about 40 miles west of the Estonia-Russia border. GPS interference has become more common in the area recently.
It's actually Tartu, as the article correctly says, not Tarta. And it's about 40km, not 40 miles. Otherwise, all correct.
Thank you for the correction. yes, 40 kilometers from the border. (I have not had the pleasure of visiting Estonia)
Perhaps pilots should bring along paper maps and a compass ? =D

Good to see them putting Safety ahead of Profit!
Tartu does have a ILS/LOC 26 approach, so strange that they can’t use it now.
