Air travel and turbulence have always gone hand in hand with many flights, especially long haul, experiencing spells of bumpiness. Here’s how air turbulence can create problems for air travelers. In cases of light and moderate turbulence, passengers might feel a strain against their seatbelt, and unsecure items in the cabin may move around. In March 2023, severe turbulence on a private jet resulted in the death of a former White House official. In 2022, Williams, who co-authored the study, told CNN that he believed that severe turbulence “could double or triple in the coming decades.”He went on to attribute this to “clear air turbulence,” a type of turbulence that strikes suddenly is very difficult to avoid.
