Since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, navigation system disruptions in Europe, including Latvian airspace, have increased. In early 2025, 230 GPS interference cases were recorded in Latvian airspace, 55.1% more than the previous year. In 2024, 820 disruptions were recorded countrywide, up from 342 in 2023 and 26 in 2022. These disturbances are mostly short and not long-lasting but cause alerts in aircraft systems, likely due to Russian GPS signal interference. Such disruptions affect flights at airports lacking modern landing systems, though alternative navigation systems mitigate risks. The Latvian Civil Aviation Agency confirms growing GPS interference impacting aviation safety, with several Baltic and Nordic countries also affected.
