Singapore Airlines has announced that it will be providing compensation to passengers who were injured during a recent flight that encountered severe turbulence. The incident, which occurred last month while the plane was en route from London to Singapore, resulted in the death of one passenger and injuries to several others.
The airline has stated that it will offer $10,000 to each passenger who sustained minor injuries, while passengers with more serious injuries will receive advance payments of $25,000. The turbulence occurred over Myanmar, forcing the plane to make an emergency landing in Thailand. Authorities in Thailand have reported that the passenger who tragically passed away had a suspected heart condition.
