“The Dublin Airport team continues to provide full assistance on the ground to passengers and airline staff,” the statement said.

This incident comes days after a Singapore Airlines flight SQ321 encountered severe turbulence with over 100 passengers injured, killing a British man with a heart condition and forcing the plane to make an emergency landing in Bangkok.
The Singapore airline noted that the turbulence occurred while the aircraft was passing over Myanmar’s Irrawaddy Basin almost ten hours into the journey.
During the terrifying ordeal at high altitude, passengers and crew were hurled violently throughout the cabin, resulting in injuries to their skulls, brains, and spines.
According to reports, air safety experts have stated that passengers frequently wear seatbelts too casually, putting them at risk in the event of an unplanned turbulence on the aircraft. Additionally, scientists caution that the phenomenon known as “clear air turbulence,” which is imperceptible to radar, is intensifying due to climate change.
