Overview
- The Aeropuerto Internacional Jorge Chávez confirmed a problem with the satellite navigation system (GNSS) that has caused flight delays and schedule adjustments.
- Preliminary reports say at least six flights were cancelled and several domestic services to Arequipa, Puerto Maldonado and Cusco showed delays on the airport status board.
- Passengers reported being held aboard aircraft for extended periods and an onboard captain told travelers the interference appeared to come from the airport environment rather than the plane or airline.
- Later passenger reports indicated the interference had been cleared for some flights, with crews instructed to refuel and prepare to depart as airport and airline staff continued coordination.
- GNSS supplies position and approach data used by aircraft for landing and departures, so authorities are monitoring the system and advising passengers to check flight status with their carrier for updates.
