Estonia accused Russia of violating international airspace regulations by interfering with GPS signals. The Baltic nation's foreign minister said Tallinn will take up the matter with its NATO and European Union partners. Finnair on April 29 announced a temporary suspension of its flights to Tartu in eastern Estonia for a month due to ongoing GPS disturbances that prevented two aircraft from landing. The flights will be suspended to allow the airport to install an alternative approach method not relying on GPS, Finnair said. Most airports have such equipment installed.
