Singapore Airlines issued a deep apology for the incident. Its CEO, Goh Choon Phong, has promised that he will fully cooperate in the investigation and has visited hospitalized people to offer his support.
Although turbulence is the most common type of accident involving air carriers, according to one study 2021 National Transportation Safety Board ReportDeaths and serious injuries are rare.
But in July 2023, four people were injured due to severe turbulence on a US domestic flight in Florida.
On Sunday, US Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said in CBS’ “Face the Nation” that although the extreme turbulence experienced on the Singapore Airlines flight is very rare, “turbulence can happen and can sometimes happen unexpectedly”.
“Our climate is evolving. Our policies, our technology and our infrastructure also need to evolve accordingly. The goal is to ensure we are ahead of the curve, keeping aviation as safe as it is,” he told “Face the Nation” host Margaret Brennan. “It’s no wonder it’s become the safest way to travel in America. We have to treat this not as mission accomplished, but as something you need to continually update to maintain that safety record.”
