You cannot land in Tartu airport in nighttime without GPS, that's why Finnair have now suspended that route. If there would not be that tech, regulations would not allow to land passenger planes at nighttime there at all.

Im sure there are special cases, but in general it shouldnt be that big of a deal. I think they are blowing a lot of things out of proportion. You can actually land any airport at night, its just that the pilots dont have the experience without using the GPS. Its become a crutch.

I get that jamming gps is annoying, but it isnt the end of the world. Especially for commercial flights and such.

No, I'm realist, not living in illusions.
Russians ar jamming GPS in area likely to protect oil infrastructure from Ukrainian drone strikes.
