Turbulence is the most uncomfortable part of flying. Despite their astonishing frequency, they can be frightening and even upsetting for experienced passengers.

They are also more prevalent on certain routes than the others. 

A few days ago, dramatic scenes occurred aboard a flight from London to Singapore. There was considerable turbulence, which resulted in one death from a heart attack and many injuries.

Turbulence is the worst part of flying for many people, and this latest occurrence may exacerbate their fear of it.

The online portal Turbli has been created to help travelers prepare for this. Turbli analyzed over 150,000 routes and prepared a list of ten routes where turbulence occurs most often.

Which Routes Experience The Most Turbulence?

The approximately 1,900-kilometer journey from Santiago to Bolivia's Viru Viru International Airport has been named the world's most turbulent aviation route. The route from Almaty in Kazakhstan to the Kyrgyz capital Bishkek came in second place.

Domestic flights in Japan and China had the highest representation in the ranking. This is primarily owing to the significant concentration of powerful wind currents. The route from Milan to Geneva has the highest level of turbulence in Europe.

10 Routes With The Most Turbulence

1.Santiago (SCL) - Santa Cruz (VVI)
2.Almaty (ALA) — Bischkek (FRU)
3.Lanzhou (LHW) — Chengdu (CTU)
4.Chūbu/Centrair Airport (NGO) - Sendai (SDJ)
5.Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP) - Geneva (GVA)
6.Lanzhou (LHW) — Xianyang (XIY)
7.Osaka (KIX) - Sendai (SDJ)
8.Xianyang (XIY) — Chengdu (CTU)
9.Xianyang (XIY) — Chongqing (CKG)
10.Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP) - Zurich (ZRH)

What is The Probability Of Turbulence During Flight?

While many passengers experienced light turbulence, severe turbulence is much less common. As reported by the British newspaper, Independent, only one in 50,000 flights are affected by severe turbulence.

Paul Williams, a professor of atmospheric sciences, explained to CNN that there is a scale that can be used to measure the strength of turbulence. According to this scale, there are three types of turbulence.

With light turbulence, it is still possible to move around the cabin, while moderate turbulence will keep the seat belts tight and make walking almost impossible.
The worst type of turbulence, however, is severe turbulence, which is stronger than gravity and can throw people around in the cabin if they are not wearing seat belts. This type of turbulence can cause serious injuries, as happened on a Singapore Airlines flight on May 21.
