Singapore Airlines has adjusted its in-flight service protocols, including stopping meal service when seatbelt fastening is on and requiring flight attendants to return to their seats.
The new policy follows the May 21 incident when a Singapore jet encountered severe turbulence, sending dozens to hospital and killing one person.
The airline said it would “continue to review our procedures as the safety of our passengers and crew is of the utmost importance.”
Flight 321, between London and Singapore, was carrying 211 passengers and 18 crew members when the Boeing 777 encountered severe turbulence over Myanmar. The aircraft quickly diverted to Bangkok for an emergency landing.
The airline said on Friday that 44 passengers and two crew members remained in a Bangkok hospital.
According to various media reports, Adinun Kithiratanapaibull, director of Bangkok's Samitivej Srinakarin Hospital, said on Thursday that 22 passengers on board the plane suffered spinal injuries and six remained in critical condition.
