After the strong turbulence on the flight between London and Singapore, which left 30 injured and one person dead, a list positioned a route between Chile and another country of South America as one of the most turbulent in the world.
The platform specialized in wind and turbulence forecasting in the world, Turbliexamined the data of turbulence of the 150,000 busiest air routesand classified them according to their “eddy dissipation” rate (EDR).
It should be noted that this parameter is classified as light (0-20 EDR), moderate (20-40 EDR), severe (40-80 EDR) or extreme (80-100 EDR).
This was how the route between Santiago, Chile to Santa Cruz, Boliviawas positioned for the second consecutive year as the most turbulent in the worldwhile the Santiago airport was crowned the best airport for turbulence worldwide, with a weight of 17,137 EDR.
