The pilots of the plane carrying paper maps to the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Der Lee have had to use paper maps due to the failure of the GPS system at the Bulgarian Plovdiv airport, the British newspaper Financial Times (FT) reports.
"GPS was turned off throughout the airport," said one of the sources of the publication. "It was undoubtedly due to external intervention." It is noted that after an hour of flight of the airport, the plane pilot decided to land it with manually using analog maps.
Von der Layen visited Bulgaria on August 31, the so-called front-line countries, the Baltic States, Finland, Poland, Romania and Bulgaria.
