JAKARTA - The flight of the Ryanair airline to the Austrian capital, Vienna, had to land in neighboring the Czech Republic on Monday night after experiencing GPS problems and poor visibility.

The Irish airline responded to reports by Austrian media about flights from Riga being diverted to the Czech city of Brno as GPS signals were disrupted in Poland due to the conflict in Ukraine.

Reported by Reuters on Tuesday, December 31, the Die Presse newspaper said the message was conveyed to passengers by the flight captain who landed safely at Brno. The passengers were then taken to Vienna by bus, Ryanair said.

"The FR748 flight from Riga to Vienna yesterday Monday, December 30, was diverted to Brno due to a small technology issue in the GPS system coupled with low visibility (but) in Vienna," Ryanair said in a statement but did not mention reports of GPS issues.

The flight that landed in the Czechs was the Airbus A320 operating under the Lauda brand, according to tracking site Flightradar.
