Singapore Airlines has sent offers of compensation to passengers on board a flight last month that encountered severe turbulence that led to dozens of injuries and one death.
The carrier said on Tuesday that passengers with minor injuries have been offered 10,000 dollars while those with serious injuries can discuss an offer to meet their specific needs.
It said passengers medically assessed as having sustained serious injuries, requiring long-term medical care, and requesting financial assistance are offered an advance payment of 25,000 dollars to address their immediate needs.
A 73-year-old passenger died of a suspected heart attack and dozens were injured after flight SQ321 from London to Singapore encountered what the airline described as sudden, extreme turbulence while flying over Myanmar.
It diverted and landed in Bangkok, Thailand.
