IATA partners with The Weather Company

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) is collaborating with The Weather Company to further distribute the former’s Turbulence Aware data. The majority of North American airlines using the Weather Company’s insights can now access Eddy Disruption Rate (EDR) turbulence information directly though the Weather Company’s tools, which will be enabled as an additional data layer. This real-time information will enable pilots and dispatchers to select optimal flight paths, avoiding turbulence and increasing fuel efficiency. “As weather grows more impactful due to a changing climate, it’s critical now more than ever for aviation leaders to incorporate accurate, real-time, globally-scaled weather data
