Here’s why 2 Pittsburgh flights are among the most bumpy in the country

Two routes in and out of Pittsburgh International Airport are among the 10 with the highest average turbulence in North America, according to a ranking by the air-turbulence tracking website Turbli .

The two routes are Charlotte-Pittsburgh and Pittsburgh-Raleigh/Durham, which both connect Pittsburgh with airports in North Carolina. Turbli ranks the 589-mile Charlotte-Pittsburgh route with the second-highest amount of average turbulence for a flight for the entire year of 2023. Only the Nashville-Raleigh/Durham route had a higher incidence of turbulence, according to Turbli data.

Turbli also ranked the 527-mile Pittsburgh-Raleigh route at No. 7 among domestic routes. But none of the routes in North America had anywhere near the turbulence that others around the world do, including the 1,905-mile Santiago, Chile, to Viru Viru International Airport in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia.
