Yes. Airlines sometimes change their flight planned routes to take advantage of the jet stream when flying East, and avoid the jet stream when flying West.

What do jetstreams move?

Jetstreams are fast-flowing narrow air currents found in the atmosphere. They move from west to east due to the Earth's rotation and temperature differences between air masses. Jetstreams can greatly impact weather patterns and the movement of aircraft.

How do jetstreams affect air masses?

Jetstreams can influence the movement and behavior of air masses by steering them along their path. The strong winds of jetstreams can cause air masses to be pushed or pulled in certain directions, affecting their speed and intensity. Jetstreams can also help to mix and create boundaries between different air masses, which can lead to the development of weather systems like storms or high-pressure systems.
