Adelaide man Keith Davis and his seriously injured wife have been visited by the head of Singapore Airlines in a Bangkok hospital, as they sought a medical evacuation to Australia.The airline says it has arranged for family members to travel to Singapore to be with the couple.
In a statement, the airline said it had made arrangements for their family members' travel into Bangkok."Singapore Airlines apologises to Mr Keith Davis and his wife, and is providing them with the necessary support and assistance they need during this difficult time," the airline said. Mr Davis said he had "had no information, we've been left in limbo", as hospital staff quickly wheeled him to a lift to avoid reporters.
One passenger died of a suspected heart attack and dozens were injured after Singapore Airlines flight SQ321 encountered what the airline described as sudden, extreme turbulence while flying over Myanmar.Of the 40 people on the flight still under treatment, 22 patients have spinal cord injuries and six have brain and skull injuries, Dr Adinun said.
Ten British, nine Australian, seven Malaysian and four Philippine citizens were among the 41 people, according to a presentation made by Dr Adinun.Later on Thursday, Mr Davis said he had been visited not just by a representative of the airline, but also by CEO Goh Choon Phong, who had travelled to Bangkok to meet patients.
