Rising Storms And Turbulence Threaten Flight Delays
Airlines and airports face a growing risk of disruption from intense storms, turbulence, and flooding as the climate warms, raising concerns about delays, cancellations, and higher operating costs.

The industry must adapt to these changes while also reducing its own climate impact, with IATA member airlines aiming for net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
