SIA said two passengers from Flight SQ321 are still receiving medical care in Bangkok.
SINGAPORE - The Singapore Airlines plane that was hit by severe turbulence on May 21, resulting in one death and dozens of injuries, has made a return to the skies.
Functional check flights are typically performed after an aircraft undergoes heavy maintenance, to make sure that everything on the plane works as it should. The airline said safety remains its top priority, and the plane will return to service only after it has been declared operationally ready by the carrier’s engineering and flight operations teams.
The plane, which was carrying 211 passengers and 18 crew members at the time, diverted to Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport.
