How safe is it to fly in bad weather?
64% Informative
Flying in bad weather can be a terrifying experience with turbulence, thunderstorms and bumpy landings.
Flying is deemed the safest method of transport and the risk of fatality from flying is one per 13.7 million passengers.
The chances of dying drop around 7% every year due to increasing safety improvements.
There are three types of turbulence that could get worse with climate change.
Severe turbulence in the North Atlantic has already increased by 55% from 1979 to 2020 .
Climate change means the jet stream where CAT is found, is getting faster, leading to more instances of severe turbulence.
Pilots will communicate with each other should there be unexpected areas of turbulence.
