According to an official update issued on Wednesday evening, November 12, 2025, all the thirteen passengers injured in the severe Air India turbulence on the Air India flight have been discharged from hospitals. The passengers have been discharged after receiving medical attention, but the four crew members are still under medical supervision in various hospitals. The airline's spokesperson confirmed that the company's special teams are at the hospitals and all possible medical and financial assistance is being provided to the affected passengers and crew members.
Air India Turbulence Background and Accident
The unfortunate incident took place when the aircraft was subjected to severe jolts due to sudden turbulence in the atmosphere and change in air pressure. The pilots managed to control the situation with extreme maneuverability, but the passengers and cabin crew inside the aircraft were injured due to the sudden fall. Experts say that sudden turbulence in clear skies is often not detected on radar ahead of time, leaving no opportunity for safety measures. As soon as the plane landed, all the injured were rushed to nearby hospitals where they were treated for head injuries, bone fractures and other injuries.
Airline management response and relief operations
In a statement issued on Wednesday evening, November 12, 2025, the airline management clarified that the company is bearing all the medical expenses of the affected people. Passengers may visit Air India Official Website for the latest information and claims regarding the incident. The airline has also activated dedicated helplines for the convenience of passengers to efficiently resolve baggage recovery and ticket refund issues.
##Precautions during air travel
The incident is an important lesson for passengers traveling on international flights as to why it is important to follow safety rules while traveling by air. You should keep your seat belt fastened lightly even when the seat belt signal is off to avoid sudden jolts. Be careful when placing luggage in overhead bins and keep children in their designated seats during long journeys. In the event of an emergency, follow the instructions of the cabin crew immediately and avoid panic.
Expected future steps
The aviation department's investigation teams will issue a preliminary report on the incident within the next two weeks. The incidence of wind erosion in the atmosphere is increasing due to climate change around the world, which is closely monitored by the relevant authorities. Air India is under increasing pressure to improve its crew training system to better deal with weather emergencies. The next report on the health of the remaining four staff members at the hospital is expected on Friday, November 14, 2025.
