Aktau on Kazakhstan's Caspian coast sits in an interference corridor where many passing aircraft report degraded GPS.
Check the live reading above and open the map. FLYAWAY reads GPS accuracy from the aircraft over Aktau and refreshes every few minutes.
When the reading is high, treat GPS near Aktau as unreliable: keep the drone in sight, be ready to fly manually, and do not rely on return-to-home. When it is severe, do not fly.
Aktau on Kazakhstan's Caspian coast sits in an interference corridor where many passing aircraft report degraded GPS.
Aktau sits on the arid eastern shore of the Caspian, Kazakhstan's only seaport on that sea. From here ferry and cargo routes run west across open water toward the Caucasus — the same crossings over which aircraft have increasingly reported degraded or spoofed GPS.
Aircraft crossing the Caspian have, since 2023, increasingly reported lost or spoofed GPS amid regional military activity, a trend visible in open flight-monitoring data. Aktau's sea and air links traverse this basin, so crews and mariners working the eastern Caspian should plan for interference as an established regional condition rather than a rare disruption.
Aktau is Kazakhstan's only Caspian seaport and an oil-export and ferry hub, where both maritime and air traffic across the sea rely on satellite navigation. Loading, berthing and open-water crossings all use GNSS, and because the port's trade depends on those crossings, positioning failures over the Caspian carry real commercial weight.
