A 73-year-old man died of a suspected heart attack and dozens were injured after flight SQ321, flying from London to Singapore, encountered sudden, extreme turbulence while flying over Myanmar last week.
Singapore's Transport Ministry has released early findings of a probe into a Singapore Airlines flight hit by severe turbulence last week.
"The aircraft experienced a rapid change in G … This likely resulted in the occupants who were not belted up to become airborne," the Singapore Transport Ministry said in a statement on Wednesday. Photographs of the cabin showed gashes in the overhead cabin panels, oxygen masks and panels hanging from the ceiling and luggage strewn around.Singapore Airlines said it acknowledged the report — which was conducted by a team comprising Singaporean investigators, Boeing representatives and United States safety officials — and was cooperating fully with the investigation.
Hong Kong's Greater Bay Airlines said on Wednesday it would require passengers to fasten their seatbelts at all times during flights even when the seat belt sign is off, starting from Thursday.Travel Health and Safety
