It's something that any nervous traveller dreads during a long-haul flight. But severe turbulence is set to get even worse - with climate change to blame.

Delta Air Lines (NYSE: DAL) may appear to be flying high on robust premium and loyalty revenues, but a closer look reveals gathering risks. Macroeconomic headwinds are pressuring its core domestic ...

With IndiGo posting record profits and new airports unlocking capacity, India’s aviation sector is gaining altitude. Tier-2 cities are powering international growth, while fuel cost relief ...

Please keep your seatbelts fastened Dangerous clear-air turbulence is worsening due to global warming Climate change is making high-altitude winds much more volatile.

Science Scientists Forecast a Big Increase of Clear-Air Turbulence That Could Lead to Bumpier Flights Global warming is making high-altitude winds more volatile.

Stinson, J. R., and Cohen, S. H. “Use of Isogon-Isovel Chart and the Isogon Deviation Field in Forecasting Atmospheric Turbulence”, Navy Weather Research Facility, July 1965, Norfolk, Virginia.

As the air becomes unstable, it breaks into fast-moving chaotic swirls. An aircraft encountering turbulence is shaken as it encounters fast-flowing, swirling airflow.” Is turbulence safe?

Typical west-to-east, upper-level flow is fairly benign and doesn’t usually produce any significant clear air turbulence. This is what meteorologists call a zonal flow pattern.

Difficult to detect, these turbulences are responsible for most weather-related airplane accidents. Researchers from CNRS Terre & Univers have investigated the link between clear-air turbulence and ...

What is turbulence? Turbulence is the chaotic movement of air which can cause the sudden movement of an aircraft in flight, the Met Office said.

Research suggests that a technology commonly used in self-driving cars could mitigate the dangers of turbulence: Lidar, a 3D laser scanning technology, has been said to detect clear-air turbulence ...

Analysis: We should anticipate an increase in both the frequency and intensity of clear air turbulence as climate change progresses The sudden turbulence caught the airline off guard, leading to ...
