GPS Spoofing Causes Flight Diversions at Delhi's IGI Airport
Delhi's IGI Airport faced severe congestion and flight diversions due to GPS spoofing, which disrupts navigation systems and increases workload for pilots and controllers. Such incidents are becoming more frequent globally, affecting airline operations and raising safety concerns.
GPS spoofing has led to significant disruptions at Delhi's Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport, resulting in flight diversions and severe congestion. The spoofing incidents degrade navigation systems, making it harder for pilots and air traffic controllers to manage flights safely. This interference has contributed to a notable rise in reported jamming and spoofing events worldwide, posing risks to aviation safety and operational efficiency. The situation highlights the growing threat of fake GPS signals, which can mislead aircraft and ships, potentially leading to accidents or delays. As spoofing becomes more common, especially near conflict zones, airlines and authorities are increasingly concerned about the reliability of GPS-dependent navigation.
