Several people have been injured after a Delta Airlines flight from Los Angeles to Sydney was hit by turbulence on Friday morning.
Delta Flight 41 encountered brief turbulence as it landed at Sydney Airport, an airline spokesperson told the BBC. Four flight attendants were injured.
The New South Wales Ambulance Service said it assessed five patients and took three to hospital with minor injuries, including back pain and headaches. The patients' ages ranged from their 30s to 70s.
There were 245 passengers and 15 crew members on the Airbus A350, and the flight landed safely and normally at Sydney Airport at 06:48 local time.
Experts warn that as climate change continues to impact atmospheric conditions, turbulence during flights may become more frequent and severe.
