A Study on Climate Change and Aviation Safety and the Response of the Aviation Industry: Focusing on Turbulance

Global warming has increased turbulence, which has also affected aviation accidents. Climate change is having a big impact on safety by changing the operating conditions of aircraft, and the aviation industry is exploring various strategies to respond to it. The main contents covered in this paper are as follows. Climate change directly affects air operations through increased extreme weather events and changes in air currents. The aviation industry is responding to climate change by improving fuel efficiency, optimizing routes, and introducing eco-friendly technologies. International cooperation and policy responses are essential to responding effectively to climate change, which is an important factor in ensuring aviation safety. In this study, we analyzed the impact of global warming on the increase in turbulence in commercial aircraft. Increased atmospheric instability due to global warming increases the frequency and intensity of turbulence events, which has significant implications for aviation safety. In addition, the economic impact of increased turbulence on airlines and passengers was also analyzed. Through case studies and data analysis, we were able to empirically confirm the impact of global warming on the frequency and intensity of turbulence occurrences. The results of this analysis specifically suggest how the aviation industry should respond to the increase in turbulence due to global warming in the future.
