There has been no increase in air turbulence accidents per passenger mile over the past 30 years despite a quadrupling of air traffic (so more chances to encounter turbulence). https://www.ntsb.gov/safety/safety-studies/Documents/SS2101.... After normalizing the data by annual flight hours, there was no obvious trend over time for
turbulence-related Part 121 accidents during this period [1989-2018]. The BBC article cites a modelling paper. In a conflict between real data and a simulation, real data should win. |
