Cathay Pacific says 10 people are injured after turbulence on flight CX156 from Brisbane, Australia, to Hong Kong. Multiple reports state the incident occurs early on Saturday morning and that the aircraft arrives at Hong Kong International Airport at about 6:45am. On arrival, medics board the plane to assess passengers and crew, with injured people taken for medical treatment.
Sources agree that the turbulence happens during the in-flight service period, when crew are serving meals or breakfast, and that several aboard report a frightening sensation during the sudden turbulence. Cathay Pacific confirms that four passengers and six cabin crew members sustain minor injuries. At least two injured travellers are described as Australians in reporting.
The accounts align on the overall numbers, timing, flight route, and that the injuries are treated on arrival. While passengers describe the turbulence as intense and alarming, the reports consistently characterize the injuries as minor, with medical personnel responding immediately after landing.
