ZIPAIR to use AI turbulence forecasts with Starlink‑enabled 787‑8 fleet

ZIPAIR announced on 8 October that it will employ AI‑generated turbulence forecasts in its operations.

The forecasts from BlueWX are integrated into MTI’s 3DARVI system, allowing pilots to view turbulence risk by altitude and forecast time alongside existing weather and flight data, while Starlink provides the high‑speed communications needed for the in‑flight weather information; Starlink has been used for passenger internet since 26 February and all eight Boeing 787‑8 aircraft were equipped by 5 May.
