3. Top 10 Most Turbulent Flights in the World; Mostly in China, Japan

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Turbulence is one of the things long-haul passengers dread most. This natural phenomenon can be more than just bothersome. In the worst case, violent vibrations can result in structural damage to the aircraft and even jeopardize passengers' safety.

Recently, the deadly turbulence on a Singapore Airlines flight from London to Singapore grabbed the global spotlight and sent people scrambling along the world's most unstable air routes.

Turbli, a turbulence forecasting site, analyzed more than 150,000 long-haul and short-haul flight records in 2023 to find out which flights encountered the most intense turbulence. It uses eddy dissipation rates (EDR) to determine the shock rating of each route, with levels of light (0-20), moderate (20-40), severe (40-80), and extreme (80-100).
