Most airlines have policies prohibiting flight into areas of known or forecast severe turbulence.
It must be different in different parts of the world. I've flown for three major airlines , one NZ , one in SE Asia, and one in Ausi, none of them had such a policy and it was common to route through forecast severe turb.
Does your statement apply to the US or to Europe ?
Cheers
