Singapore Airlines Turbulence Incident<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Boeing 777-300ER<\/a> operating Singapore Airlines (SQ) Flight 321, a regular international service connecting London Heathrow (LHR) to Singapore Changi Airport (SIN), encountered extreme turbulence<\/strong> while crossing the Irrawaddy Basin in Myanmar’s Myaungmya District on May 21, 2024. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The severe incident claimed one passenger’s life<\/strong> and left 144 people injured among the 211 passengers and 18 crew members onboard. Following the turbulence event, the aircraft diverted to Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK)<\/a> rather than continuing to its intended destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
