Northwest Airlines continues to go above, beyond, and around turbulence

The weather and jet stream activity of today makes for very interesting analysis of airlines and their willingness to avoid turbulence. A previous blog post from December 13th, 2006 showed that Northwest Airlines did the best job in avoiding turbulence. A look today shows much of the same. Only Northwest seems willing to avoid turbulence the most, as compared to other airlines. You can always investigate this yourself by visiting FlightAware and seeing the routes that planes take. Just type in two city pairs and have a look.
