Eight passengers of a JetBlue flight from Ecuador to Fort Lauderdale in Florida were hospitalised after the plane was caught in a turbulence before landing int he US city, according to CBS News<\/em>. The incident took place on Monday (September 25) whe the plane was caught in an “abrupt and severe turbulence”, a JetBlue official told the outlet. The flight landed safely and medical personnel transported seven passengers and one crew member to a local hospital for medical attention and assessment.<\/p>\n

The severity of the injuries is not known.<\/p>\n

“JetBlue will work to support our customers and crew members,” airline officials were quoted as saying by the outlet<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Authorities reported that the aircraft involved in the turbulence incident has been taken out of service for a thorough inspection.<\/p>\n

On Monday afternoon, National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) announced it is starting an investigation into the incident. “NTSB has launched an inquiry into today’s turbulence event that occurred on JetBlue #1256, an Airbus A320, during cruise flight near Jamaica while en route from Guayaquil, Ecuador to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Multiple injuries were reported,” the agency said in a post on X (formerly Twitter).<\/p>\n

This is the latest incident in which passengers sustained injuries due to severe turbulence encountered during their flights.<\/p>\n

A month ago, 11 people were hospitalised after a Delta flight experienced severe turbulence while approaching Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. Among those injured were passengers and crew members of Delta Flight 175.<\/p>\n

In March, tragedy struck when a Bombardier CL30 jet, flying from Dillant-Hopkins Airport in New Hampshire to Leesburg Executive Airport in Virginia, encountered severe turbulence, resulting the death of one passanger, said the CBS News<\/em> report. The flight had to divert to Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks, Connecticut.<\/p>\n

In another incident in March, multiple individuals were hospitalised after a Lufthansa flight from Austin to Frankfurt, Germany, encountered turbulence and had to make an emergency landing at Dulles International Airport in Virginia.<\/p>\n

The next day, approximately 20 passengers and crew members aboard a Condor flight from Frankfurt to Mauritius sustained injuries due to turbulence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
