IMPACT OF GLOBAL WARMING AND
CLIMATE CHANGE ON AIRCRAFT
ACCIDENTS BETWEEN 2010-2022

SUMMARY
With global warming and climate change, we see that the increasing impact, severity and frequency of weather events like rain, storm, fog, wind, snow and ice, warming and climate change are becoming very dangerous to our world. It is known that global warming and climate change, frequent and severe weather events are having the most devastating impact on the aviation industry. Global warming and climate change have made it clear that there is a need to assess increased weather conditions for aircraft. The effects of weather events can reach fatal levels, especially in the case of aircraft accidents. The severity and frequency of weather events phenomena are affected by global warming and climate. In this thesis, plane crashes in the world with a capacity of 12 or more passengers from 2010 to 2022 were first investigated. In the case of accidents, the increase in weather events due to global warming and climate change were investigated. Of the 1,511 plane crashes investigated in the article, 375 were determined to be caused by weather events. However, between 2010 and 2022, it was estimated that 25% of plane crashes with 12 or more passengers were due to weather conditions. With this result, between 2010 and 2022, 1 in 4 accidents of aircraft with a passenger capacity of 12 or more in the world will be due to weather conditions. These statistics show that changes in weather conditions as a result of global warming and climate change pose a significant risk to the safety of the aviation industry. For plane crashes caused by weather events during the study period, it was concluded that the weather events most influencing plane crashes were low visibility (26%) and wind (26%). In the study, conducted between 1998 and 2010 , it was estimated that 16% of the world's aircraft accidents with a capacity of 12 or more passengers were caused by weather events. This study, comparing 2010-2022 and 1998-2010, concluded that between 2010 and 2022 the number of aircraft accidents caused by weather events proportionally increased by 9%. The aviation industry needs to assess global warming and climate change and take precautions against changing weather conditions. Global warming and climate change are no longer a problem of the future, but one of the biggest problems of today. By reducing aviation accidents caused by global warming and climate change, deaths in airplane crashes can be prevented. It would be useful to evaluate these issues in future studies Impact of Global Warming and Climate Change on Aviation and Aircraft Accidents: - The impact of global warming and climate change on damage to aircraft materials and equipment should be investigated to determine what damage occurs and to see how much action taken to reduce aircraft accidents.
