Everything you need to know about how turbulence can impact your flight
Turbulence is caused by rough air, often unexpectedly, due to thermal, mechanical, or shear forces. While unsettling, modern aircraft are built to withstand significant turbulence, and pilots use weather reports and communication to anticipate and mitigate its effects. Severe turbulence incidents can cause injuries, though the odds are statistically low. Research suggests clear-air turbulence will increase in the future.
