Twelve injured in Qatar Airways flight turbulence over Turkey a week after Brit was killed when jet plunged in storm

TWELVE passengers and crew were injured on a Qatar Airways flight after experiencing intense turbulence.

The jet was on its way from Doha to Dublin when it began shaking as it flew over Turkey, just days after the deadly Singapore Airlines flight.

Emergency services are now at Dublin Airport after the six passengers and six air staff were hurt after the horror ordeal.

Graeme McQueen, Media Relations Manager at daa, the operator of Dublin Airport, told Sky News: “Qatar Airways flight QR107 from Doha landed safely as scheduled at Dublin Airport shortly before 13.00 on Sunday.

“Upon landing, the aircraft was met by emergency services, including Airport Police and our Fire and Rescue department, due to six passengers and six crew [12 total] on board reporting injuries after the aircraft experienced turbulence while airborne over Turkey.

“The Dublin Airport team continues to provide full assistance on the ground to passengers and airline staff.”

It comes just days after a Singapore Airlines Boeing jet plunged 7,000ft in a six minute death drop.

Those onboard the flight that killed Brit granddad Geoff Kitchen, 73, recalled “doing somersaults” while others were “launched into the ceiling”.

Flight SQ321 took off from London Heathrow shortly after 10pm on Monday with 211 passengers and 18 crew on board – including 47 Brits.

Nearly 11 hours into the 13-hour journey to Singapore, the packed jet was smashed by sudden “severe turbulence” while passengers were eating breakfast, officials said.

Shocking images showed food, drinks and cutlery strewn across the galley kitchens of the plane as it was violently thrown around.
