1 passenger was rendered unconscious and several suffered cuts, bumps and bruises during the turbulence described by officials as an isolated and unusual event
Jon Snook, chief operating officer of Hawaiian Airlines, said the Airbus A330-200 began its descent immediately after the turbulence and the crew declared an emergency due to the number of injuries on board.
Jon Snook, the airline’s chief operating officer, said the airline hasn’t experienced “an incident of this nature in recent history”. The Sunday flight was full, carrying 278 passengers and 10 crew members, he said during an afternoon news conference. At least one person was reported to have been rendered unconscious but all patients were awake and talking when they arrived at hospitals, he said.
The airline was aware of the weather forecast and the unstable air and weather conditions, but had no warning the particular patch of air where the turbulence occurred “was in any way dangerous,” Snook said.
