A day ago, the Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGI) in Delhi faced its first-ever instances of GPS spoofing, leading to widespread disruption of flight operations for nearly a week.
The issue has been particularly severe during easterly wind conditions, which have forced aircraft to approach from the Dwarka side and depart toward Vasant Kunj, creating congestion, delays, and multiple diversions.
