The International Air Transport Association’s (IATA’s) Turbulence Aware coverage of Latin America has been significantly boosted as Aeromexico becomes the latest airline to join the program.
The inclusion of Aeromexico brings coverage of turbulence incidents across Latin America to more than 3,200 flights per day—a 25% increase compared with 2024. Aeromexico’s reporting includes data from across its 90 Boeing aircraft fleet, supported by Boeing’s complementary capability that enables real time weather and turbulence observations, said IATA.
IATA’s Turbulence Aware collates anonymized turbulence reports from flights operated by more than 30 participating airlines worldwide. This aggregated data is then shared almost instantaneously with airlines, providing pilots with a near real-time view of turbulence ahead of their aircraft. This equips pilots with the information needed to take mitigating action, whether suspending meal service, turning on the seatbelt sign, or rerouting the flight where possible, IATA added.
