Jeddah: An Air-India plane landed at Jeddah’s King Abdul Aziz International Airport on Sunday night with eight passengers and two crewmembers injured in midair turbulence.
Of the injured, a 60-year-old woman has been hospitalized with a fracture of the hipbone.
In all 69 passengers and 10 crew members were on board the Airbus 310 Bombay-Hyderabad-Jeddah flight, which landed here about 10 minutes behind schedule. T. Vijayakumar, Air-India’s customer relations and senior airport manager said that while flying over Muscat around 6 p.m., the plane suddenly entered an air pocket that prompted the captain to lower the altitude. It was so sudden that the captain had no time to alert the passengers. The seatbelt sign was immediately switched on, but passengers who were mostly in or around the toilets were hurt.
