Previously, turbulence analysis relied on external meteorological information systems. However, because these systems provide information over wide areas, there were limitations in making detailed forecasts of turbulence for each flight route. In addition, the information was shown in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and the usage interface was complex, making it difficult to access information at a glance.

The Turbulence Map allows users to simply enter the flight number, after which it provides expected turbulence along the route of that specific flight in Korea Standard Time (KST). This enables easy, real-time identification of risk zones, expected timing, intensity, and other key details.

With this tool, cabin crew can take proactive safety measures, such as pausing in-flight services, preparing the cabin, or instructing passengers to fasten their seat belts, all before turbulence occurs.

Eastar Jet aims to further enhance flight safety and prevent injuries to both passengers and crew through the introduction of the Turbulence Map. The company plans to continuously analyze data to advance the system and gradually expand its functions.

An official from Eastar Jet stated, "Crew members can now check turbulence information more quickly and respond proactively, which will further strengthen flight safety," adding, "We will continue to raise our safety standards by actively utilizing digital technologies such as AI."
