Yes, turbulence is getting worse — and it isn't your imagination. At a representative point over the North Atlantic, the annual duration of severe-or-greater clear-air turbulence rose from 17.7 hours in 1979 to 27.4 hours in 2020. That's a 55%…

Congress has begun to force a partial course reversal on NextGen: spread some of the noise back out rather than keeping flights locked on narrow precision tracks. The mechanism is not a mandate for fanned departure headings. It's statutory direction…

Under a doubled-CO2 climate scenario, research projects transatlantic wintertime severe clear-air turbulence volumes could increase by 149%, with moderate-to-severe turbulence up 127%. This isn't a distant forecast: severe turbulence over the North Atlantic already increased 55% between 1979 and 2020.…
