Airlines are increasingly interested in turbulence prediction technology following recent headline-grabbing incidents, but are hesitant to make passengers keep seatbelts fastened at all times, as reported by IATA. The incidents involved a Singapore Airlines flight experiencing a dramatic loss of altitude resulting in injuries and the first plane turbulence-linked death in 25 years, and a Qatar Airways flight encountering turbulence. IATA emphasizes the importance of more data to enhance safety measures, while some airlines are updating policies to remind passengers to keep seatbelts on as a precaution.
