Copenhagen and the Oresund catch GPS interference drifting from the Baltic, worsening during Russian electronic-warfare activity to the east.
Check the live reading above and open the map. FLYAWAY reads GPS accuracy from the aircraft over Copenhagen and refreshes every few minutes.
When the reading is high, treat GPS near Copenhagen 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.
Copenhagen and the Oresund catch GPS interference drifting from the Baltic, worsening during Russian electronic-warfare activity to the east.
Copenhagen sits astride the Øresund at the gateway between the Baltic and the Kattegat, its harbour and airport facing the strait that divides Denmark from Sweden. It lies roughly 510 km from Kaliningrad, the source most often cited in regional reporting, placing it within the wider Baltic zone where interference has been recorded, though not at its most exposed eastern edge.
GPS interference across the Baltic has been publicly reported since 2022 and escalated through 2023 and 2024, with Danish and neighbouring aviation and maritime authorities flagging it and Kaliningrad named most frequently as the source. Copenhagen's position on the Øresund places it within this broad, well-monitored region rather than at its centre.
As a Nordic finance and pharmaceutical centre with Kastrup, the region's busiest airport, and dense ferry traffic across the Øresund, Copenhagen depends heavily on satellite navigation. Aircraft approaches and the constant maritime movement through the strait both rely on stable GNSS, so even intermittent interference is worth monitoring for those working the crossing.
