Background

Muscat is among the flight information regions with reports of GNSS jamming or suspected interference in 2021, in data presented to ICAO's Middle East office in 2022 (ICAO Middle East office, May 2022). Oman's Maritime Security Centre has warned seafarers not to rely on GPS alone, as its signals may suffer interference, weaken or be lost for a while (Times of Oman). For the reporting on interference in Oman, and who it is attributed to, see the Middle East.

Only hexagons whose centre lies inside the borders of Oman are counted, so hexagons in neighbouring countries and out at sea are left out. The map is framed on 16.5° N to 26.5° N and 51.9° E to 59.9° E.

Oman is counted under the Middle East.

Oman: 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.
