No one likes turbulence, but it's not going anywhere anytime soon.

A November 2023 report from Business Insider found that climate change has played a noticeable role in flights becoming more turbulent and bumpy in recent years. Fortunately, a report from travel tool Turbli sheds light on which flight routes experienced the most turbulence in 2023. Turbli provides turbulence, wind, and thunderstorm forecasts for flights, according to its website.

"A total of 150,000 routes have been analyzed, from which only those with active airline routes as of December 2023 have been ranked," the report said.

The report used eddy dissipation rate (EDR) to define average turbulence levels, with light (0 to 20), moderate (20 to 40), severe (40 to 80), and extreme (80 to 100).
