Avianca flight heading to New York is treated as an incident after severe turbulence reportedly results in multiple injuries aboard the aircraft. Multiple sources say emergency crews are sent to the scene, and people are taken to hospital.
Outlets report that the injured passengers receive medical attention after the aircraft lands or is met by responders. One report describes “999 crews” being involved, while others state that several people are hospitalised. The accounts broadly agree on the cause—extreme turbulence—and the immediate outcome—injuries requiring medical treatment—though they vary in the specific figures and emphasis on the number of emergency responders.
