Rising global temperatures are intensifying clear-air turbulence events, a phenomenon that strikes without visible warning in cloudless skies and poses growing operational and financial challenges for the aviation industry. Airlines face mounting costs from aircraft damage and potential liability claims associated with these incidents, while aviation insurers confront new underwriting complexities as the frequency or severity of turbulence events may be shifting. The convergence of climate-driven weather pattern changes and insurance risk repricing mechanisms creates a dual pressure point affecting both carrier profitability and the cost of risk transfer in the sector.
