Passengers injured as turbulence strikes flight landing at Sydney Airport

  • Georgina Mitchell

A number of passengers on an international flight bound for Sydney have been injured after turbulence struck the aircraft on Monday afternoon.

Emergency crews were called to the airport at 2.40pm.

A spokesman for NSW Ambulance said paramedics were sent to Link Road, Mascot, with reports "a number of patients" were injured in turbulence.

"It appears we will be required to assess a number of patients," the spokesman said.

None of the injuries are believed to be life-threatening.

Sydney Airport said emergency services were on site to treat the "small number" of passengers.

Several international flights were landing at the time ambulance crews were called, including an Air New Zealand flight from Auckland and an Air China flight from Beijing.
