The Peninsula
Qatar Airways and the International Air Transport Association (IATA) announced Qatar Airways would become the first airline in the Middle East to join the IATA Turbulence Aware platform.
IATA’s Turbulence Aware helps airlines mitigate the impact of turbulence, a leading cause of passenger and crew injuries and higher fuel costs each year, by pooling and sharing anonymised turbulence data from multiple participating airlines and thousands of daily flights. The realtime, accurate information enables pilots and dispatchers to choose optimal flight paths, avoiding turbulence and flying at optimum levels to maximise fuel efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions.More Related News
