Singapore Airlines (SIA) has introduced tighter cabin restrictions when aircraft hit turbulence after one passenger died and scores were injured on a flight from London earlier this week.
The airline said May 24 it’s taking a “more cautious approach” to managing turbulence after Flight SQ321 suddenly lost altitude on May 21 and was forced to make an emergency landing in Bangkok. One man died and dozens of passengers remain in Thai hospitals suffering serious trauma including spinal-cord damage and head injuries.
