"Rising Turbulence Risks: Climate Change and Air Travel Safety"

A Singapore Airlines flight experienced severe turbulence, leading to one passenger's death and multiple injuries. The incident raises questions about the increasing frequency of turbulence and its potential link to climate change. Studies suggest that climate change may be causing more clear-air turbulence, particularly over busy flight routes like the North Atlantic. This poses safety risks and financial challenges for airlines, which are already operating on tight profit margins. The incident also impacts consumer trust in aircraft manufacturers like Boeing.
