By quantifying turbulence with EDR, airlines can identify and avoid bumpy zones. Essentially, EDR data helps pilots steer clear of areas with strong turbulence, enhancing passenger comfort and safety.

The result of this effort is a ranking of the most unstable flight routes worldwide. And coming in at the top of the list (meaning the most turbulent flight route) is the route from Mendoza, Argentina ...

The report also shares the global airports that are most likely to experience turbulence, within 100 kilometers of the hub, with Santiago (SCL), Medina (MED), and Tokyo's Narita (NRT) taking the ...

Turbuli has analysed around 150,000 routes worldwide and has ranked them according to "eddy dissipation rate" which is described as the "measure of the turbulence intensity at a given spot".

Extreme turbulence hit Singapore Airlines (SIA) flight SQ321 from London to Singapore on Tuesday (May 21), and forced the aircraft to make an emergency landing at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport.

For each airport, the average turbulence was computed using readings taken within a circle 62 miles in diameter around the airport, at its base elevation and 13,000 feet above it.

As defined by the Federal Aviation Administration, “Turbulence is air movement created by atmospheric pressure, jet streams, air around mountains, cold or warm weather fronts or thunderstorms. It can ...
