Singapore Airlines turbulence prompts global airlines to reassess safety policies – News

Several global airlines are reviewing their safety and seatbelt policies following the recent Singapore Airlines turbulence incident that resulted in one fatality and multiple injuries. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has seen an increased interest in its Turbulence Awareness platform, with several airlines in talks to join and share data to avoid routes with reported turbulence. This move comes after incidents such as the Emirates flight from Perth to Dubai and a Qatar Airways flight from Doha to Dublin, where passengers were injured due to turbulence.

During the IATA annual general meeting in Dubai, Nick Careen, Senior VP of Operations, Safety, and Security, mentioned the importance of reevaluating procedures and improving safety measures following incidents like these. The Turbulence Awareness platform currently has 21 airlines feeding data from 2,400 aircraft, with Emirates Airlines recently joining to enhance safety, navigation, and flight plan optimization. The goal is to utilize data to predict and avoid turbulent areas more efficiently.

While there has been an increase in reported turbulence incidents globally, Careen clarified that this does not necessarily mean turbulence occurrences are more frequent. He attributed the rise in reported incidents to greater awareness and measurement, enabling corrective actions to be taken. Additionally, environmental factors may play a role in turbulence occurrences, though further research is needed to establish a definitive connection between global warming and flight turbulence.

In addition to turbulence concerns, other safety issues were highlighted by Careen, including the lack of final published reports for 52% of accidents since 2018, which hampers learning from past incidents. He also addressed the growing problem of jamming and spoofing of airline global navigation systems, with a 40% increase in such incidents being observed since early 2023. These issues are particularly prevalent in regions like Europe and the Middle East, potentially due to geopolitical conflicts and challenges.

Overall, the aviation industry is prioritizing safety measures and data sharing to address turbulence incidents and other safety concerns effectively. By leveraging platforms like the IATA Turbulence Awareness platform and collaborating with airlines globally, the industry aims to enhance safety protocols, improve decision-making, and optimize flight navigation to ensure passenger well-being and operational efficiency.
