Recently, a Singapore Airlines flight from London encountered severe turbulence, resulting in tragic consequences. One passenger lost their life, and 104 others sustained injuries during the turbulent episode. The aircraft, which was en route to Singapore, had to make an emergency landing in Thailand to address the aftermath of the turbulence.
Following the incident, authorities in Thailand initiated comprehensive safety checks on the plane to ensure its airworthiness before allowing it to resume its journey. The delay caused by the safety inspections led to the extended stay of the affected passengers in Thailand.
