- Singapore Airlines Ltd. has revised its cabin-service rules following a turbulent flight from London that resulted in one fatality and numerous injuries.
In response, the airline announced a "more cautious approach" to managing turbulence. As per report, when the seatbelt sign is activated, in-flight meal service will be suspended, and the serving of hot drinks will cease. Additionally, crew members will secure themselves in their seats.

You can only imagine how those two pilots survived and made it through to take the plane for a safe landing. We must honor the pilots bravery and perseverance.
Those pilots are so great who save it being crashed thanks and get well soon all of the injured peoples.
Yes exactly
Airlines always announce, PLEASE WEAR SEATBELTS WHEN SEATED, why some passengers never follow?
Some of the passengers also weren't seated when the turbulence hit. The turbulence hit suddenly without warning.
And also there is the safety video briefing before takeoff reminding pax to fasten their seat belts at all times. Many pax will ignore the briefing thinking they are frequent fliers and know what to do during flight.
Thailand has some of the best medical services and Samitivej Hospital is world class medical facility. Singapore Airlines has shown first class attention to a catastrophic situation for passengers who were critically injured.
Thank God. the aeroplane didn't fall down on the earth.very great pilot officer God bless you. passengers wear the seat belt all the time. it's safe.
Practical wisdom. Passengers need to be wearing seat belts at all times except when walking to the toilet for their own safety. ❤
i know i may get some back lash from this comment considering a person died and several others seriously injuried but what is more importnatnt safey or comfort when your in your seat your seal belt should be fasten
Yes, should wear seat belt always. Another thing is carry on luggage. People are bringing more than 15 lbs in their carry on putting on top of your head😮
Yes
Should passengers fasten their seatbelt when using the toilet?
I agree .. I don't take my seat belt off when flying .
You wear a seatbelt at all times in your car ..why would a plane be different ?
Also planes need better seat belts other than just a lap one IMO
Turbulence is getting more frequent, more unpredictable and more severe in recent years. Airlines must adapt to this new changes with new regulations. Belt will be on for all time now. Gone are all the comforts in long flight now 😢
even Japan have the best technology detecting earthquake or tsunami but the intensity of the damage cannot be foreseen, same with the turbulence…there are so many factors esp our weather or climate nowadays, but atleast SQ321 esp the Pilots still made an extraordinary job to save the lives of the passengers.
Plane interior materials usages have to be reviewed concurrently as well, to have more non-flammable cushions installed instead hard metal or plastic pieces/panels used.
Knowing that due to the climate change there is more turbulence during the flights, I suggest the Airlines Association and Industries now put in extra seat belts for the passengers, seatbelts like the ones the crew members have...those that covers their shoulders and chest, the ones from top to bottom.
I wonder if other airlines will follow suit? We've flown with Singapore Airlines and they were fantastic so I'm not surprised that they are taking the matter very seriously and putting the safety of their passengers and crew members first, with making changes to their existing protocols as soon as they can.
Definitely bet they will.Or else they r giving ppl an impression they can't be bothered,that's not going earn them any good😂
The seatbelt must wear even if you are not in turbulance. You can only take the seatbelt when go to toilett. I think people know that....now we know how important.
This is very sad 😢 I pray for all of them .🙏🙏
good job, stricter rules and wise decision to change route,hope to change more saftety route
It has to be done. Plus why weren't people buckled when seated. Singapore Airlines does tell you to be buckled. If people are ignoring what has been told. I am always buckled when flying.
As a secondary measure, they need to put foam absorbance on the all roof areas. And make the floor softer. It is not that expensive. After all, we all need to go the rest room at some point.
They need to secure everything on planes - those carts should be in secured channels on the floor so they cant fly around
I too have long thought the service trolleys should be as you say....in secured channels on the floor.
questions. Was either pilot injured? do the pilots stay belted in during the entire flight. Are their seat belts more like harnesses?
TURBULENCE CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THIS IS PART OF LIVE & PART OF NATURE. LIFE GOES ON WITH NO GUARANTEES.
IT CAN EVEN HAPPEN WHILE MEALS ARE BEING SERVED. IT CAN HAPPEN WHILE YOU ARE FAST ASLEEP IN YOUR FLAT BED (BUSINESS CLASS).
TURBULENCE HAS MANY ATTRIBUTES. LIFE IS LIKE THAT. ❤
His first thought is insurance at this traumatic time ?
Hot drinks are never served when seatbelt sign is on. SQ have been upholding this.
I trust the captain had the Fasten Seatbelt on given the turbulence while flying in the Jetstream.
If I were aboard I would be thinking that I will be killed...way too much time in that mindset. I learned back in 1985 to always keep my seat belt fastened. Am worried about permanent head/spine injuries.
Agree. From now on I will wear seatbelts fasten for the duration of the flight. Except for trips to the toilets or to stretch my legs. Things may happen sooo quickly...
Cathay Pacific doesn't serve hot drinks when there's turnulence
Cathay Pacific ALWAYS have the BEST pilots on Earth!
I'm not sure if this was a mistake. SQ never serve hot drinks whenever the seatbelt sign is on..
It's a very rare and sad case for SQ. Besides confirming that there certainly will be huge lump sum payouts from claims on the insurance policies of those affected passengers/victims of SQ Flight 321, will Singapore Airlines Ltd, the CEO and its Management settle this potentially expensive Class Action dispute via 'Out of Court settlement' if the families of those who died, got hospitalised and warded in ICU who underwent intensive surgeries for their spinal cord injuries and/or head injuries, yet end up paralyzed with consequences such as paraplegia (no sensation below the waist), comatose, semi-vegetative state, PTSD, memory loss, anxiety-depression, etc, requiring long-term future family, nursing, psychological and social work support for the rest of their lives?
Why would you talk about pay out and insurance claims at this time??? Let the dust settle first !!!!!!! Better you pray for everybody including the cockpit crew who did a fantastic job saving these life's.
@@dinal389 It's a valid comment about insurance, and it would be to many of the victims and families. Didn't that patient in a wheelchair mentioned insurance as a concern?
anyone know where they were flying when turbulence hit?
Irrawaddy basin
How about revising flight routes? Avoiding the most dangerous patches of well known turbulence?
I was once on a flight that kept dropping. Luckily for me I was so tired at the time that I wasn't afraid.
What kind of idiot does not keep their seatbelt fastened at all times? I've been through mild turbulence multiple times, & the airlines tell you to keep your seatbelt fastened.
I hate it when people think rules are for others to follow but not them. They constantly on their phones when told several times to not be on their phones.
Welcome to new change of rules
Scientists should study when and how turbulence forms and what to do about it!
stop blaming climate and passagers, why aircraft Artificial intelligence failed during Singapore turbulence
This is why passengers should always wear seat belts, even artificial intelligence can be faulty.
@@thepowerofyourtrueself4794yes Madam❤
Supposed to be Common sense, not a rule.
We know that insurance claims will be made in the future, but pleease....can we wait a little before we show our concerns about $$$$$. I think people's well being now is more important than worrying about $$$$$.
Forget the recriminations, investigations will make determinations in the future. I sincerely wish all those injured, both physically and those with emotional scares make a speedy and safe recovery. I certainly would have been scared by this situation and hence my thoughts and best wishes.
It was terrible but you can’t blame Singapore airport for what happened unfortunately the compensation lawyers are standing around waiting to get even more richer than they already are
Why have you not counted the gentleman who died?
Does his death not count because he was older and had a heart attack?
His life matters
You can revise , threat of fines , or even jail time but when the plane is carrying 200 passengers and 70+ passengers are Karen's in no way the seat belt obligation will be enforced.
Those 70+ Karen’s will be the ones with severe injuries or worse. On a long haul flight it may be necessary to move around on occasion..just understand it’s at your own peril if you’re unlucky enough to hit turbulence while you are unbuckled. Folks need to take some responsibility for their actions and not jump on the lawsuit train because of your choices.
And don't forget about the Stan's.
it's ur own life, u are responsible for your own seat belt fastening, no point bitching
Unrealistic to expect people to be strapped in at all times.
On a long haul 13 hour flight, people need to go to the toilet, queue for the toilets in the galley, have a quick stretch after being seated for so long etc.
The incident occured suddenly when there was no turbulence warning.
We should seriously consider reducing air traffic which is a major cause of pollution n thus contribute to climate change. Also airplane should be redesigned to have more space or room for movements. Yes it will cost more alot more infact for travellers but it will reduce air traffic n lesser pollution for our environment. Just my humble thoughts n it may not be commercially viable.
I don't think i can picture myself wearing. A tight safety belt. On a long haul trip. Like. Johannesburg to Singapore. There has to be another plan devised for travellers. A CARGO. SHIP. Carrying passengers. From Durban. to. Fremantle. Even be it. A cargo ship of Eastern origin. Taiwanese
Do something to show it to the world 😂😂😂
Poor guy died must be hard times landing on he's butt
So he died so he died. What a hooha. Over this man. My husband died 2 years ago here in Johannesburg tragically. We all have to go. One way or the other. One day
Almost ALL airlines want to make the most money but why they don't install more toilets in their planes.
Yes, and everything is a risk. Even the government is a big risk to our lives and if I get in a plane and fly at 10,000 meters, then I have to expect that something will happen. Icarus approached the sun with his wings and what happened?: .the wings melted.
