Explorer Flight Missions: Most turbulent routes
This month we wanted to bring you some of the most turbulent routes for some exciting flying! (source)
Turbulence on flights is usually caused by mountains, storms, or powerful jet stream currents, so it’s not surprising that rocky ranges feature prominently in this list of flight routes that had the most turbulence in 2024, according to tracker site Turbli.com.
Aircraft, route selection, and weather planning - at Pilot’s discretion, however we have provided IRL flights information for reference.
Let the adventure begin!
