Dozens of South Korean civilian aircraft have had to abort landings and climb to a safe altitude due to GPS jamming by North Korea over the last year, according to an ROK lawmaker. The office of Park Jeong-hun told NK News there were 32 cases of pilots initiating go-arounds due to such signal interference last year, as well as 14 cases this year through September, citing flight data from the transport ministry and reports on GPS interference from the science ministry. “North Korea’s GPS jamming is a clear provocation against South Korea and poses a serious threat to flight safety,” © Korea Risk Group.
