Ryanair Flight Diverted After GPS Signal Disruption Over Poland

A Riga-to-Vienna flight was rerouted to Brno, Czech Republic, after navigation issues and poor weather conditions in Vienna.

The Ryanair-operated Lauda Air flight FR748 from Riga to Vienna was diverted to Brno, Czech Republic, on December 30 due to GPS signal interference and low visibility in Vienna.
The aircraft, an Airbus A320, attempted two landings in Vienna but was unable to land safely without precise navigation due to poor weather conditions.
The flight captain informed passengers that the GPS disruption was linked to intentional jamming, a growing issue in the region since 2022, potentially tied to the conflict in Ukraine.
Passengers were transported by bus from Brno to Vienna after the aircraft landed safely in the Czech city.
This incident follows a rise in navigation system disruptions in the Baltics and comes days after two fatal aviation accidents in other regions, raising concerns about aviation safety in conflict-affected areas.
