Airplanes hurricanes?

Question

If there is a hurricane do airplanes fly over, trough them? what would happen if it does? I heard nothing will happen. Why?... is an airplane really that strong?

Answer 1

Commercial airlines avoid hurricanes.

There are special "hurricane hunter" aircraft that fly into hurricanes for research & forecasting:

Answer 2

well if avoiding it is possible then they will delay or simply go around but if they are going to hit it then they will fly into the lower statosphere because it doesnt have any moisture content in it and thus no weather
