Air India Flight to Delhi Encounters Severe Turbulence, Injuring 17
A flight from Phuket to Delhi experienced a sudden altitude drop of approximately 300 feet after encountering intense turbulence.
Seventeen people were injured aboard an Air India flight travelling from Phuket, Thailand, to Delhi, India, after the aircraft encountered severe turbulence. The incident involved Air India flight AI2379, which reportedly experienced a sudden drop in altitude of approximately 300 feet, or around 91 metres, during its journey.
Following the unexpected turbulence, 13 passengers who sustained injuries were later discharged from medical care. However, four crew members involved in the incident remained under treatment, according to reports.
What began as a routine flight from the popular Thai island destination transformed into a terrifying ordeal for those on board. The aircraft's sudden and momentary altitude variation was attributed to the intense turbulence encountered.
The airline and aviation authorities have yet to release further details regarding the specific circumstances that led to the severe weather event and the subsequent injuries.
