Emirates Enhances Fleet with New Turbulence Detection Technology

Emirates has joined the International Air Transport Association’s (IATA) Turbulence Aware Platform and will be the first airline to integrate this platform with the latest version of Lido mPilot, the mobile navigation solution from Lufthansa Systems.

By combining these platforms, Emirates aims to provide pilots with real-time, highly accurate turbulence information and forecasts, enabling them to plot the best paths around affected areas for enhanced safety, efficient navigation, and optimized flight plans.

To support this initiative, Emirates has equipped more than 140 aircraft with the necessary onboard software to automatically share turbulence reports with other airlines contributing data to the platform. Future additions to the Emirates fleet, including the Airbus A350 and various models of Boeing 777 and 787, will also participate in this program.

IATA’s Turbulence Aware Platform is a global, real-time resource that provides detailed and objective information to help pilots and aviation professionals manage and mitigate the impact of turbulence. Turbulence is a leading cause of passenger and crew injuries and leads to increased fuel consumption.

The platform pools anonymized turbulence data from thousands of flights worldwide, enabling pilots and dispatchers to choose optimal flight paths that avoid turbulence, fly at peak levels and altitudes, and maximize fuel efficiency, ultimately reducing carbon emissions. To date, Turbulence Aware has contributed to safer flights for over 700 million passengers, a number that will continue to grow as more airlines join the program.

Lido mPilot, developed by Lufthansa Systems, is an all-in-one mobile navigational charting application tailored to Emirates’ specific operational requirements. It provides pilots with easy access to terminal charts, a dynamically generated enroute map, and an Airport Moving Map (AMM). Its data-driven, interactive maps, and up-to-date weather features ensure enhanced situational awareness and provide pilots with the most relevant information for each flight.
