Wake turbulence and wingtip vortices are invisible phenomena that sometimes appear in the form of white trails tracing and spiraling from wingtips. Pilotsalso try to visualize the wake of these airflow disruptions in heavy traffic to ensure they fly far enough away for the vortices of other planes in tighter patterns or formations. They study how vortices behave and dissipate to predict their movement and avoid catching wake turbulence.

Its fleet is set to grow by almost 15% this year, with the delivery of 12 new Boeing 737 aircraft, and it has many more on order alongside widebodies from the Boeing 787 Dreamliner family.
