The incident comes five days after a British man died of a suspected heart attack and dozens of people were injured.
The airport said upon landing the aircraft was met by emergency services, including airport police and the fire and rescue department, "due to six passengers and six crew … reporting injuries after the aircraft experienced turbulence while airborne over Turkey".Twelve people have been injured, including eight taken to hospital, as a Qatar Airways plane flying from Doha to Dublin hit turbulence, airport authorities say.
The airport said all passengers were assessed for injuries aboard the plane, and eight were then taken to hospital. Qatar Airways said in a statement that "a small number of passengers and crew sustained minor injuries in flight and are now receiving medical attention".While turbulence-related fatalities are rare, injuries have piled up over the years.
Some meteorologists and aviation analysts note that reports of turbulence encounters also have been increasing and point to the potential impacts that climate change may have on flying conditions.
