It comes after a passenger died and dozens were injured after a Singapore Airlines flight from London Heathrow hit severe turbulence earlier this week.

That flight from London and bound for Singapore fell into an air pocket while cabin crew were serving breakfast before it encountered turbulence, prompting the pilots to request an emergency landing in Thailand.

Footage captured by an eyewitness showed damaged overhead cabins and injured passengers being carried out by stretchers after flight SQ321 landed.

Suvarnabhumi Airport general manager Kittipong Kittikachorn told a press conference on Tuesday that a 73-year-old British man died during the incident, likely due to a heart attack, while head injuries were sustained among seven people critically injured and a crew member was hospitalised.

One passenger said: "I don't think most people were prepared. They (didn’t) really have time to really react and do something about it because if I remember correctly, like the seatbelt signs were off."

They added: "There were people within the lavatories and the crew that were working, anybody who was standing, especially the people within the lavatories and were the most injured, from what I've seen.

"But I saw people from across the aisle just going completely horizontal, hitting the ceiling and landing back down in really awkward positions.

"People, like, getting massive gashes in the head, concussions. So it's quite, quite a sight, I think."
