Unconfirmed reports from airline tracking websites suggest that the Singapore Airlines flight may have dropped about 1,800 meters (6,000 feet) after hitting rough air over the Andaman Sea near Thailand. Social media images showed emergency services at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport, where at least 10 ambulances were deployed.

One passenger on board the flight, Dzafran Azmir, a 28-year-old student, told Reuters: “Suddenly the aircraft starts tilting up and there was shaking so I started bracing for what was happening, and very suddenly there was a very dramatic drop so everyone seated and not wearing a seatbelt was launched immediately into the ceiling.

“Some people hit their heads on the baggage cabins overhead and dented it, they hit the places where lights and masks are and broke straight through it.”

Some injured passengers, suffering from head wounds, were taken to hospitals in Bangkok, according to Thai PBS. In a social media statement, the airline said, “Singapore Airlines flight SQ321, operating from London (Heathrow) to Singapore on 20 May 2024, encountered severe turbulence en route.”

We can confirm that there are injuries and one fatality on board the Boeing 777-300ER. There were a total of 211 passengers and 18 crew on board.

“Singapore Airlines offers its deepest condolences to the family of the deceased.

“Our priority is to provide all possible assistance to all passengers and crew on board the aircraft. We are working with the local authorities in Thailand to provide the necessary medical assistance, and sending a team to Bangkok to provide any additional assistance needed.
