Turbulence forces Delta flight to land and sends 25 passengers to hospitals, airline says
A Delta Air Lines flight from Salt Lake City to Amsterdam was hit by serious turbulence, injuring passengers and forcing the flight to divert to Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, the airline said.
The flight landed around 7:45 p.m. Wednesday. The airport fire department and paramedics met the flight, and 25 passengers were taken to hospitals for evaluation and treatment, the airline said.
Serious injuries from in-flight turbulence are rare, but scientists say they may be becoming more common as climate change alters the jet stream.
A man was killed when a Singapore Airlines flight hit severe turbulence in May 2024, the first person to die from turbulence on a major airline in several decades.
