EASA and the International Air Transport Association (IATA) announced a strategic plan to address the escalating threat of global navigation satellite system (GNSS) interference following a joint workshop held in Cologne, Germany, last month.

The collaborative initiative addresses a 220% increase in GPS signal loss events between 2021 and 2024, according to IATA data from the Global Aviation Data Management Flight Data eXchange. Incidents of jamming and spoofing have proliferated across Eastern Europe and the Middle East, with similar occurrences reported globally.
