Background

Bangladesh presented a paper to the 2026 Asia-Pacific conference of directors general of civil aviation calling for joint action with ICAO against GNSS interference, and noted that NOTAMs describe it in different words, such as GPS unreliable or GPS jamming, from state to state (ICAO DGCA/61, 2026). We found no report of jamming or spoofing over Bangladesh itself. For the reporting on interference in Bangladesh, and who it is attributed to, see South and Southeast Asia.

Only hexagons whose centre lies inside the borders of Bangladesh are counted, so hexagons in neighbouring countries and out at sea are left out. The map is framed on 20.7° N to 26.7° N and 87.9° E to 92.7° E.

Bangladesh is counted under South and Southeast Asia.

Bangladesh: low reported accuracy points to interference but does not prove it, and the map cannot locate a transmitter or say who is responsible. How the map is made.
