"Utilizing Turbulence Recognition Information"…Korean Air Holds Seminar with IATA

Discussion on Utilization Strategies for Turbulence Detection Platform

Korean Air discussed ways to utilize and respond to turbulence information together with the International Air Transport Association (IATA).

Korean Air announced on the 6th that it held the 'Turbulence Awareness Platform (ITA) Seminar' at its headquarters in Gangseo-gu, Seoul.

ITA measures turbulence information through aircraft operated by airlines subscribed to the platform and converts it into objective numerical values to provide real-time data to member airlines. Currently, 21 airlines worldwide, including Delta Air Lines, Air France, and Emirates Airlines, have joined the platform to build big data related to turbulence and use it for safe operations. Korean Air signed a contract to use ITA in June last year.

The seminar introduced recent development trends of turbulence awareness programs. It also discussed the process of collecting and refining data by the turbulence awareness platform, characteristics of ITA data, and effective ways to utilize turbulence information in actual flight operations.

Korean Air plans to strengthen joint briefings and turbulence information delivery systems so that flight crew and cabin crew can share turbulence information in advance before flights, enabling more precise adjustment of service timing during flights.
