Dublin: Six passengers and six crew members have been injured during turbulence on a flight from Doha to Ireland.
In a statement, Dublin Airport said the Qatar Airways flight landed safely as scheduled shortly before 1 pm (1200 GMT) on Sunday.
“Upon landing, the aircraft was met by emergency services, including Airport Police and our Fire and Rescue department, due to six passengers and six crew [12 total] on board reporting injuries after the aircraft experienced turbulence while airborne over Turkey,” the airport added.

The incident comes a week after a British man died and scores were injured when a Singapore Airlines flight from London hit severe turbulence.
