On September 6, a Scoot (TR) flight, operated by Singapore Airlines’ low-cost subsidiary, encountered severe turbulence during its journey from Singapore (SIN) to Guangzhou (CAN). The incident occurred as the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner was nearing its destination, resulting in a significant disturbance that affected the aircraft and its passengers.
The turbulence was intense enough to cause injuries to seven individuals on board. The flight crew acted swiftly and effectively to manage the situation, ensuring that the aircraft landed safely at Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport. Emergency services were prepared and met the aircraft upon arrival to provide immediate medical care to those injured.
The turbulence incident has raised concerns about the unpredictable nature of such events and underscores the critical importance of following safety protocols during flights. Passengers are advised to remain seated and keep their seatbelts fastened when instructed, as turbulence can occur unexpectedly and vary in severity.
Scoot Airlines has expressed its concern for the affected passengers and is cooperating with aviation authorities to investigate the circumstances surrounding the turbulence. The airline is committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of its passengers and is reviewing its procedures to enhance safety measures.
