GPS interference prevented a Finnair flight from landing in Joensuu on June 11, 2024, causing the flight to return to Helsinki and the return flight to be canceled. Finnish MP Hanna Räsänen suspects Russian hybrid interference.

On June 11, 2024, a Finnair flight from Helsinki to Joensuu could not land due to GPS interference affecting satellite-based navigation, forcing the plane to return to Helsinki after a fifteen-minute wait. This disruption caused the cancellation of the morning return flight from Joensuu to Helsinki. Operational director Tapio Nurmela of Fintraffic confirmed the GPS interference. Passenger and Finnish MP Hanna Räsänen was among those affected and suspects Russian hybrid interference as the cause, noting the impact on her parliamentary committee attendance. Finnair arranged replacement buses for stranded passengers, but some opted for train travel for a faster arrival. The evening flight to Joensuu landed normally around 18:30 local time. This incident highlights ongoing vulnerability of Finnish regional aviation to GPS jamming, with prior disruptions reported at this airport.
