Singapore Airlines is offering $US10,000 to passengers who suffered minor injuries and $US25,000 for serious injuries during the flight last month that encountered severe turbulence.

We’re just hopeful for small gains, her mobility is restricted to her arms and her neck and shoulders.” Singapore Airlines said it invited seriously injured passengers to discuss a compensation offer that meets their specific needs. It said all passengers’ medical costs were covered, they were paid $1000 to meet their immediate expenses and their flight costs were refunded.
