Climate change could make flights longer and bumpier
As if flying wasn't already enough of a chore, there's an increasing number of studies showing climate change might make it worse.
Changes to the jet stream could make flights longer and more turbulent.
And higher temperatures could affect the maximum takeoff weight, meaning more weight restrictions and even flight cancellations.
The problems could have an effect on the profits of airlines, which are already operating on slim margins.
Bumpier journeys
Research from Reading University has found that flights could become lengthier and more turbulent because of climate change.
