Twelve people were injured after a Qatar Airways flight from Doha to Dublin was hit with turbulence on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The flight, which landed in Dublin shortly before 1pm local time, was met by emergency services, including airport police and the fire and rescue department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a statement from Dublin Airport, six passengers and six crew members were injured in the incident, eight of which were taken to hospital following assessment. The Qatar Airways flight QR107 experienced turbulence while flying over Turkey, the statement said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dublin Airport said it was assisting passengers and staff and that operations were unaffected. The plane\u2019s return flight to Doha, flight QR018, is scheduled to go ahead as expected, though its departure will be delayed, the airport said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a statement , Qatar Airways said that the flight landed safely in Dublin, but that \u201ca small number of passengers and crew sustained minor injuries in flight and are now receiving medical attention.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The matter is now subject to an internal investigation,\u201d the statement continued. \u201cThe safety and security of our passengers and crew are our top priority.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It comes days after 104 passengers were injured and a man with a heart condition was killed on a Singapore Airlines flight<\/a> that was hit with severe turbulence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flight SQ321 from London to Singapore was cruising at 37,000 feet on Tuesday <\/strong>when the plane dropped sharply before climbing<\/a> several hundred feet, according to flight tracking data. It then repeatedly dipped and ascended for about a minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is turbulence on the rise?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

About 65,000 aircraft suffer moderate turbulence every year in the US, and about 5,500 run into severe turbulence. These numbers, however, might be destined to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paul Williams, a professor of atmospheric science at the University of Reading in the United Kingdom, told CNN in 2022 that he believes climate change is modifying turbulence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe ran some computer simulations and found that severe turbulence could double or triple in the coming decades,\u201d Williams said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The findings, which were later confirmed by observations, highlight a type of turbulence called \u201cclear air turbulence,\u201d which isn\u2019t connected to any visual clues such as storms or clouds. Unlike regular turbulence, it hits suddenly and is hard to avoid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

previously reported that the Singapore Airlines flight likely encountered rapidly developing thunderstorms, while the airline has said investigations are ongoing. It is not yet known what kind of turbulence the Qatar Airways plane experienced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
