Dubai: An Etihad plane suffered interior damage and 31 passengers were injured after the passenger aircraft hit severe pockets of turbulence on a Jakarta bound flight, the airline confirmed on Wednesday.

The Etihad Airways flight EY474 was en route from Abu Dhabi to Jakarta when it “encountered severe and unexpected turbulence about 45 minutes prior to arrival at Soekarno Hatta International Airport. The flight landed safely and passengers were met by medical assistance teams as they disembarked the aircraft,” the airline said in a statement.

An Etihad spokesperson said that 31 passengers were injured in the high-flight melee aboard an Airbus A330-243 which landed at 2.24pm Jakatra time.

Twenty two people aboard the aircraft are being treated by paramedics for minor injuries at the airport, the spokesperson said.

“Nine other passengers have been taken to a local hospital.”

Extremely rough flying conditions leading to the turbulence “also caused some damage to cabin storage areas. We are providing all possible assistance to affected passengers,” said the airline in a statement around 2:30 pm on Wednesday.

aiyoh sis kakak tak boleh imagine kalau turbulence sampai tahap terangkat cekpit.

akak experience drop yang terasa kecut dalam perut itu pun akak dah pucat kejap, lagipun masa akak kena tu tak jauh jarak dengan crash airasia indon itu..a few flights lepas kejadian itu pun akak ada sikit fobia bila nampak pesawat nak langgar awan

yg akak kena itu akak macam nak blame pilot itu jah... gigih la pulak heshe redah awan super tebal lepas tu engine bunyi macam menggelupor then menegak sikit pesawat lebih daripada normal. jarang kan pilot yg gigih nak langgar awan tebal ini, hanjeng sangat pilot itu.

Katanya dah nak arrive 45mins lagi. Waktu tu bukankah biasanya org dah ready pakai seat belt semua.

Memang mengerikan buat mereka yang dah pernah ada experience cam tu.  Sebab tu elok belt tu sentiasa dipasang semasa ditempat duduk walaupun ada tanda boleh bukak semasa penerbangan demi keselamatan.

Sentiasa pakai tali pinggang walau ketika tidur kalau dalam pesawat

"whenever you are seated, as a precaution, please put the seatbelt on eventhou the seatbelt sign is off"

selalu dengar kan...?

clear air turbulence memang tak nampak untuk di elak, neither by radar nor naked eyes.
