Etihad Airways Joins IATA’s Turbulence Aware Programme
Gulf carrier Etihad Airways is the latest airline to join IATA’s Turbulence Aware programme.
Turbulence Aware collates data about turbulence from flights operated by participating airlines.
This real-time reporting helps pilots and flight dispatchers plot the smoothest and most efficient flight paths.
Etihad will deploy the platform across its entire fleet of almost 100 Airbus and Boeing aircraft.
These aircraft automatically share reports with IATA’s programme.
The programme will provide broader flight data coverage, both in the region and globally where Etihad flies.
Data quality continues to improve as more airlines join the programme.
Captain Majed Al Marzouqi, Interim Chief Operations and Guest Officer at Etihad Airways, said: “We are pleased to join and leverage our extensive network and fleet to support the industry in effectively managing turbulence.”
With real-time, accurate data, pilots can effectively navigate turbulence resulting in smoother journeys.”
The quality of IATA’s Turbulence Aware data evolves as more airlines contribute.
More than 25 airlines are participating in the programme with more than 2,600 aircraft operating the software.
This resulted in more than 51 million reports in 2024.
