An unspecified number of people on the Singapore Airlines Boeing 777 were also injured and it was forced to divert to Bangkok.
Singapore Airlines said Tuesday that one person died and others were injured when a flight from London to Singapore hit severe turbulence. Flight SQ321 from London 's Heathrow Airport was diverted to Bangkok and touched down just before 4 p.m. local time Tuesday at Suvarnabhumi Airport, the airline said in a statement posted to its Facebook page.
The airline offered 'its deepest condolences to the family of the deceased' and said it was providing assistance to all passengers and crew from the flight. While in-flight turbulence is common on many routes, deaths and serious injuries are rare. Four people were injured by severe turbulence on a domestic U.S. flight in Florida in July 2023.
