"Fake GPS Signals Lead to Chaos in Iranian Airspace: 20 Planes Misguided"
Twenty aircraft, including Boeing models 777, 737, and 747, were affected by rogue GPS signals in Iranian airspace, with the targeted Boeing 777 veering significantly off course. Indian carriers like AI, IndiGo, and Vistara frequently use this airspace for various routes. This incident, caused by GPS signal spoofing, marks the first major disruption involving civilian passenger flights. Most disruptions occurred in Iran's UM688 airspace, prompting a safety warning from the US FAA.
