Turbulence levels are split into categories, with light measuring between zero and 20 edr, moderate measuring between 20 and 40 edr, severe measuring between 60 and 80 and extreme measuring between 80 and 100 edr.
Airports and flight routes most hammered by turbulence in 2024 -full list The world's most turbulent airports and flight routes in 2024, have been revealed.
There are around 10,000 routes connecting the 550 largest airports in the world, and Turbli ranked them using its turbulence forecast archive and by evaluating turbulence along available flight tracks recorded during 2024.
In May 2024, Singapore Airlines Flight 321 experienced severe turbulence which caused unrestrained passengers and flight crew onboard the flight to be thrown about the cabin.
New research conducted by Turbli, a turbulence forecast site, found the world's most turbulent route is between Mendoza in Argentina and Santiago in Chile, which achieved a 24.684 eddy dissipation rate (edr).
