Someone else probably has more knowledge, but the aircraft gps do have safeguards in place to alert of the gps is accurate. So if there is an unexpected disruption they would just continue flying without the benefit of gps, which is perfectly safe.
I am curious if there has been any actual gps disruptions due to solar storms in aircraft. As far as I'm aware, there hasn't been. But I'm sure it will happen at some point.
