Air turbulence is becoming more frequent and severe as climate change accelerates, making flights bumpier and increasing risks for passengers and crew. While modern aircraft are designed to withstand turbulence, injuries often occur to those not wearing seatbelts, and severe encounters require aircraft inspections. Scientists have found a significant rise in turbulence, especially clear-air turbulence, across major flight routes due to faster warming in the tropics and intensified jet streams. The problem is expected to worsen, with both summer and autumn seeing increases in turbulence, and stronger storms adding to the challenge. Airlines are exploring mitigation strategies such as improved forecasting, optimized flight routes, and new technologies like onboard LIDAR, but experts emphasize that reducing greenhouse gas emissions remains crucial for long-term solutions.
