12 people - including 6 crew members - were injured after a Qatar Airways plane was hit by turbulence during its flight from Doha to Dublin yesterday, six days after a passenger was killed and dozens injured on a Singapore Airlines flight from London to Singapore.
A post by Dublin Airport on X (formerly Twitter) confirmed that six passengers and six crew members were injured after the aircraft experienced turbulence while it was flying over Turkey.
"Qatar Airways flight QR017 from Doha landed safely as scheduled at Dublin Airport shortly before 13.00 on Sunday. Upon landing, the aircraft was met by emergency services, including Airport Police and our Fire and Rescue department, due to 6 passengers and 6 crew [12 total] on board reporting injuries after the aircraft experienced turbulence while airborne over Turkey," it said in a statement.
The Dublin Airport team continues to provide full assistance on the ground to passengers and airline staff, it added.
