Following a turbulence incident that killed one passenger and injured several others, Singapore Airlines has tweaked its in-flight safety protocols and flight routes, newswire Reuters reported on Friday.
In a statement to Singapore broadcaster Channel News Asia, the airline said it will now refrain from serving hot drinks or meals when the seatbelt sign is on.
The SQ321 London-Singapore flight on a Boeing 777-300ER plane carrying 211 passengers and 18 crew diverted to Bangkok for an emergency landing on Tuesday after the plane was buffeted by turbulence that flung passengers and crew around the cabin, slamming some into the ceiling, the Reuters report added.
Flight SQ321 has since modified its route, avoiding the area of turbulence encountered during the incident.
