A Singapore Airlines Boeing 777 from London made an emergency landing in the Thai capital today after hitting severe turbulence mid-flight, killing one person and injuring 30.

“The Transport Safety Investigation Bureau (TSIB) is in contact with its Thai counterpart and will be sending investigators to Bangkok,” the Thai capital, Singapore’s transport ministry said in a statement.

Boeing has sent its condolences to the family of the deceased passenger in a message on social media platform X, in which it also expressed support for the other passengers and crew, a total of 228 people.
