The New Indian Express Kalaburagi
|December 02, 2025
CIVIL Aviation Minister Rammohan Naidu on Monday informed the Rajya Sabha that the Airports Authority of India (AAI) has asked the Wireless Monitoring Organisation (WMO) to identify the source behind the Global Positioning System (GPS) spoofing recently which affected flights at the Indira Gandhi International Air-
port in New Delhi.
Spoofing instances have also been reported from Kolkata, Amritsar, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Bengaluru and Chennai airports too, he said. In GPS spoofing, the navigations systems of flights are fed fake signals through manipulation of data which guides the aircraft, putting it at significant risk. The WMO is a part of the Centre's Ministry of Communica-
tions set up to monitor all wireless transmissions.
