GPS interference affecting Finnair flights near Kaliningrad.

Finnair reported that its pilots had encountered GPS interference near Kaliningrad in the days preceding 9 March. The airline identified the area as relevant to its European and Asian routes, but did not provide individual flight dates or coordinates. Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin said she lacked information establishing the disturbances’ source or Russian involvement. The foreign ministry was examining the reports. The available evidence therefore supports a regional interference episode, without establishing a specific transmitter or deliberate Russian operation.
