Korean Air cuts cabin services by 40 minutes to prevent turbulence related accidents, after Monday’s incident injured about 40 Air Europa passengers — ‘Turbulence is becoming more frequent, due to large temperature differences between altitudes’
Korean Air has announced it will end in-flight services 40 minutes prior to landing as a precaution against rising extreme turbulence incidents
“Turbulence is becoming more frequent, especially as the aircraft descends, due to large temperature differences between altitudes,” the airline said, adding that this is why it made the decision to shorten its cabin service procedure. A few days after the incident, Singapore Airlines said that it will take on a “more cautious” approach to managing rough air currents on flights by stopping all meal services in the cabin when the seatbelt sign is on. The study found that warmer air from CO2 emissions is increasing windshear in the jet streams, strengthening clear-air turbulence in flight routes over the United States, Europe, the Middle East, and the South Atlantic.
