Thousands of flights to and from Europe, including those from Ryanair and Wizz Air, are affected by suspected Russian GPS jamming, with over 46,000 aircraft reporting problems over the Baltic Sea since August. Interference poses safety risks, confirmed by the UK government's March incident near Kaliningrad. While aviation authorities address the issue, UK's Civil Aviation Authority assures safety measures in place. The International Air Transport Association and EU Aviation Safety Agency address rising concerns, with a focus on countering jamming and spoofing threats. Despite risks, CAA states commercial planes aren't directly targeted by jamming.
