With this enhancement, participating airlines will soon be able to access Eddy Dissipation Rate (EDR) turbulence data directly through Fusion and Pilotbrief tools by The Weather Company. Combining IATA Turbulence Aware observations with forecasts from The Weather Company, the world’s most accurate forecaster, aims to better mitigate the impacts of weather and turbulence for contributing airlines globally. “As weather grows more impactful due to a changing climate, it’s critical now more than ever for aviation leaders to incorporate accurate, real-time, globally scaled weather data and insights within decisions,” said Ravi Vanmali, head of aviation for The Weather Company. At present, 21 airlines participate in the IATA Turbulence Aware Platform with more than 2,000 aircraft providing data daily. Thanks to the data provided by Turbulence Aware, over 700 million passengers have enjoyed a safer and more comfortable travel experience.
