    Climate change, resulted from increased fossil fuel combustion after the Industrial Revolution, has triggered a persistent global warming trend. Rapidly increasing global temperatures have a significant impact on the aviation industry, and a comprehensive understanding of their impacts is required to ensure the safety and efficiency of future flight operations. As a result of rapidly increasing global temperatures, aircraft performance during takeoff is considerably endangered, affecting important measurements such as weight considerations and fuel consumption, which are especially important at airports with shorter runways or higher altitudes. The interaction between rising temperatures and lower air density amplifies the challenge of generating sufficient lift force for aircraft taking off in less dense air. These adverse conditions greatly affect prominent parameters that determine takeoff performance, including takeoff distance and climb rate. As temperatures soar and pressure altitudes alter, the future forecast for aviation operations is determined by increased takeoff distances and descended climb rates. This comprehensive study scrutinizes the impact of climate change on takeoff distance and climb rates across ten prominent Turkish airports. The findings reveal a very clear fact: there are significant air temperature increases as well as different changes in pressure altitudes between these airports. Projections emphasize inevitable heightened takeoff distances and descended climb rates, all stemming from the anticipated elevation in temperatures and pressure altitudes. Examining distinct time frames 1980-2010 (past), 2023-2053 (near future), and 2069-2099 (far future) during the summer months reveals a changing trend. Anticipated average takeoff distance increments by 1-3% from 1980-2010 to 2023-2053 and leaps by 4-7% from 2023-2053 to 2069-2099. Conversely, average climb rates are anticipated to decline by 1-2% from 1980-2010 to 2023-2053 and descent by 3-5% from 2023-2053 to 2069-2099. Furthermore, these insights underline a critical necessity: the aviation industry must proactively devise adaptive strategies and technological advancements to alleviate the projected impacts of climate change on flight operations. The significant correlations between rising temperatures, fluctuating pressure altitudes, and the intricate dynamics of flight highlight the urgent need for ongoing research and innovative solutions within the aviation sector. Determining these challenges becomes crucial not only for operational safety but also for encouraging sustainable aviation practices that overcome the challenges that emerge from climate change.
