GPS Disruptions Hit Some Embraer Aircraft, Including E2 Jets
Brazilian planemaker Embraer has reported that some of its aircraft, including the E2 jets, have experienced GPS disruptions. The issue is said to be affecting certain types of aircraft globally, and Embraer is closely monitoring the situation in coordination with operators and equipment manufacturers.
The company stated that it is providing technical support to customers and taking necessary steps to address the problem, which does not impact flight safety. However, airlines may experience operational schedule adjustments due to the issue.
