United Airlines Flight Diverts To Memphis After Severe Turbulence Causes Injuries

The incident took place on a flight from Cancun to Chicago.

A contingent of member nations is asking the ICAO to encourage the international sharing of turbulence data to help plot flight paths.

Fortunately, the injuries were reported as minor and the flight continued safely to Taiwan.

Overall turbulence worldwide is on the rise as we grapple with climate change.

The crew members were transported to a local hospital after landing.

The airline cites passenger safety as the reason for this change.

Modern designs of wings allow a greater flexibility for aircraft’s wings.

The complaint was filed at the end of June following the incident onboard a Hartford-bound flight in May.

An aircraft wing is certified to handle over 150% of the load it was designed to withstand.

The changes will affect Korean Air’s medium and long-haul flights.
