Extreme heat affects airplane performance and airport operations, while intensified thunderstorms cause significant scheduling failures. These environmental shifts force the aviation industry to manage growing operational risks that may lead to a new baseline of travel instability for flyers globally.Why it mattersRising global temperatures reduce air density, which impacts aircraft lift and takeoff capabilities. Frequent severe weather events create immediate bottlenecks at major av
