Ellrod turbulence index from the GFS 2026082012Z forecast cycle (~6h old), sampled along the great-circle route at FL300–360. One forecast per route per model run — not per flight or departure time.
Same route, smoother ride
Heavier aircraft with higher wing loading ride through the same rough air more steadily — a comfort difference, not a safety one.

Airlines on this route
What our accident and incident records hold for each carrier — counts, not a rating. Our sources attribute only part of what they hold to a specific airline, so these figures are a floor rather than a complete history, and they should not be read as a comparison between carriers. Every airline listed here meets the same regulatory safety requirements.
We hold no accident or incident records attributed to this carrier. That is not the same as a clean record — our sources attribute only part of what they hold to a specific airline.
CFG profile →The numbers are on your side
Airliner wings are certified to survive loads far beyond anything the atmosphere produces, and are tested to the point of structural failure well past that. Turbulence is uncomfortable, not structurally dangerous.
Turbulence injuries overwhelmingly involve people who were not belted in. Keeping the belt fastened while seated removes nearly all of the risk.
Crews meet chop on ordinary days and plan around the worst of it. What feels like a long stretch of bumps is usually a few minutes.
