The jamming in Finnmark has become so constant that Norwegian authorities no longer log incidents, accepting it as an unwanted normal situation that should not be there.
Pilots experience GPS jamming almost daily above 6,000 feet, with disruptions typically lasting six to eight minutes, leaving them feeling like they're flying 30 years back in time.
Since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, GPS jamming has increased drastically in eastern Europe, with authorities in Baltic countries blaming Russia for these disturbances.
When GPS is jammed, pilots rely on communication with ground stations, but the loss of technology support creates a worrying sense of vulnerability during flights.
