Several injured as turbulence hits Delta flight into Sydney
Several passengers were injured when a Delta Air Lines flight experienced severe turbulence while traveling from Los Angeles to Sydney on Friday. The incident occurred approximately three hours before the plane was scheduled to land at Sydney Airport.
According to Delta Air Lines, the seatbelt sign was illuminated during the turbulence, and the flight crew swiftly began to assist passengers. The airline confirmed that several passengers sustained injuries and were evaluated by medical personnel upon landing in Sydney.
Passengers on board described a chaotic scene, with some individuals hitting the ceiling of the aircraft during the turbulence. One passenger, who preferred to remain anonymous, stated, “It was a terrifying experience, and I saw several people with minor injuries being attended to by the crew.”
The New South Wales Ambulance services reported that they treated several passengers upon arrival at Sydney Airport for non-life-threatening injuries. Paramedics were on standby to provide medical assistance as needed.
