Turbulence on the BOG → JFK route

The route crosses mid-latitudes where the polar jet can influence flight conditions, though exposure is shorter than on genuine long-haul crossings. The route crosses or passes near the Andes, which can generate mountain-wave turbulence downwind when upper-level winds are strong.

Calmest season: Late spring to early autumn (May-September). This corridor is most turbulent in the northern winter (Nov-Mar), when the jet stream is strongest and sits closer to the route. Wind flowing over the Andes can generate mountain-wave turbulence that extends hundreds of kilometres downwind - most pronounced in the northern winter (Nov-Mar), when upper-level winds are strongest.
