Passengers on a Latam Airlines flight from Sydney to Auckland experienced terrifying moments with 50 of them injured after an incident described as "severe turbulence".
According to initial information, the turbulence was allegedly caused by a "technical problem" on the Boeing 787 making the flight.
A female passenger described what happened during the flight as a "little short dip". As he said "I used to be a flight attendant and this was the first time the whole plane was like frozen."
After the aircraft landed in Auckland, paramedics provided first aid to a total of 50 people on board with one of them believed to be in a serious condition and 13 others being taken to hospital.
"The plane landed at Auckland Airport as scheduled. Due to the incident some passengers and crew members were affected. They were given immediate assistance and their condition was either treated or assessed at the airport. Latam apologizes for the inconvenience and injuries that may have been caused to passengers and emphasizes that it remains committed to making safety a priority," an airline spokesperson told the Herald.
