Most Turbulent Airports In The World Includes Montana Spot

It's wild to see a Montana airport land on this list.

Airplane Turbulence

We've all had a bumpy ride.

Turbulence can be jarring on any flight. You could be sleeping, reading a book, or watching a movie and the plane can start shaking due to wind flow or a change in air pressure.

Some folks are used to dealing with turbulence and others tend to think of the worst case scenario.

We all want to avoid turbulence as much as possible, but did you know some airports are more prone to bumpy take-offs and landings?

One airport in Montana has so much turbulence that it made the Top 10 in the World.

Montana Airport Has Bumpy Rides

We did not expect this airport to land on this list.

Newsweek published a list of the Top 10 Most Turbulent Airports in the World, and one Montana airport landed at #10.

Rounding out the list was the Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport.

What?

Denver is the only other airport in America on the list. Airports in countries like Argentina, Nepal, and China are also included.

How did the Bozeman Airport land on the list?

The airport's proximity to the Bridger mountain range can make take-offs and landings a bit rough for pilots due to the crosswinds from the mountains.

That doesn't mean the airport is terrible.

The Bozeman Airport is known for affordable flights and is Montana's #1 airport for all travel.

We aren't surprised to see Denver on the list. That airport is known for crosswinds, terrible weather, and delays.

It's wild how the Bozeman Airport made this list.

A little turbulence never hurts anyone, unless you spill a beverage on yourself.
